Selection Process
The Staff Council Scholarship Committee will review completed applications after
each application deadline has passed. Employees who do not fully complete the application
process will not be considered.
The scholarship will be based on the availability of funds for each semester. If the program has more applicants than available funds, scholarships will be awarded using the following criteria in priority order:
-
Degree status – Preference will be given to applicants working on a
degree in the following order: first undergraduate degree, second undergraduate
degree then non-degree students.
- Student rank – Preference will be given to applicants based on their academic rank (i.e., senior, junior, sophomore, then freshman).
-
Application date – Preference will be given to applicants based on the
completion date of the application in order of submission.
All applicants will be notified via email regarding the results of the selection
process prior to the start of the upcoming semester and the scholarship will be
reflected on the student’s bill.
The decisions of the Staff Council Scholarship Committee are final.
