COEHS Dean's Nontraditional Scholarship
This is a general scholarship fund for the College of Education and Human Services. Many scholarships require or advantage students with many extra-curricular activities. Single or married individuals-especially parents-returning to school and working full or part time do not have the same opportunities to devote to campus or service groups. These individuals have difficulty competing with full-time, "traditional" students. This scholarship addresses the need of this increasing population of students.
CRITERIA: To be eligible for this scholarship, a student must have:
- 3.0/4.0 GPA
- Financial need
- Nontraditional undergraduate or graduate student (i.e., over age 25; has worked/is working full time job either in or outside the home OR is a parent working part-time/studying part-time)
- Major in a department with COEHS
- Preference given to students who are not receiving a tuition waiver
TERMS: $500 the first year, renewal with maintenance of 3.00 GPA
SELECTION PROCESS: Final selection will be made by the Scholarship Committee of the College of Education and Human Services.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 1
