Application Process
Complete a Scholarship Application and send it to the office of the Graduate Dean. The deadline for priority consideration is March 15th. Additional funds (if any) will be allocated July 15th.
Credit Hours Requirements
If a scholarship has a credit hours requirement (e.g., 6 hours per semester), and completion of your degree requires fewer than the number of credits required for your scholarship, you can keep your scholarship and enroll in the number of credits required for completion of your degree. In this instance, however, your scholarship will be reduced to a maximum value of the cost of tuition and fees for the credits you are taking. For example, if you only need 3 credit hours to graduate, and your scholarship normally provides $1,500 per semester, it will be reduced in your final semester to the cost of tuition and fees for 3 hours.
Students who choose to take fewer than the number of required hours for reasons other than degree completion shall have their scholarships reduced to $500 per semester maximum.
