The ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ College Fund exists to support currently enrolled traditional undergraduate students who face financial challenges that could prevent them from completing their degree at ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ. Scholarships typically range from $1000 to $4000 and may cover either a full academic year (fall and spring semesters) or, in certain cases of urgent need, a single semester.
Students cannot apply directly to the fund. Instead, they must be nominated by a faculty or staff member through a written recommendation to the Director of Financial Aid. To be considered, all nominees must be in good standing with the University, both academically and in student conduct.
A committee comprised of Enrollment Management representatives reviews each nominee based on:
-
Academic performance
-
Progress toward degree
-
Financial need
-
Life circumstances
Eligible students will be invited to interview with a committee member. Following the interview, the committee makes a recommendation on whether to award a scholarship and determines the amount and duration of the award (one or two semesters). Students selected for funding will be notified by the Office of Financial Aid.
