Application Procedure

  1. Scholarship Application: Submit the College of Education Scholarship ApplicationPDF icon. Only one (1) application is needed for all scholarships. Please take special care to fill out the informational portion of the application accurately as this will affect the selection process.

  2. FAFSA Application: In order to be considered for scholarships students MUST HAVE A COMPLETED FAFSA (www.fafsa.ed.gov) on file in the Financial Aid Office. FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and is easy to fill out.
  3. College Review: A review of all applications is then done by the College’s Professional Development, Community and Student Achievement (PDCSA) Committee. Based on scholarship criteria, applicant information and qualifications, scholarship award recipients will be recommended. (Please Note: Minimum GPA requirements refer to all work completed at the time of application.)
  4. Confirmation of eligibility: Award recipients recommended by the PDCSA Committee are then reviewed by the Financial Aid Office for student eligibility.
  5. Announcement: Decisions will be announced in mid-July. Scholarship recipients must attend an orientation, write a letter to their sponsor and attend a reception. Funds will be disbursed from Financial Aid during the month of September.
