Award Notification

The Alumni Scholarship Committee will meet in the spring to evaluate applications and make recommendations for approval of qualified individuals. All completed applications are reviewed but not all applicants will be awarded.

The Alumni and Family Relations Office notifies the Financial Aid Office of the approved recipient鈥檚 name and the amount of the scholarship awarded. The scholarship is credited to each student鈥檚 account after verification of enrollment, with one half of the total award applied per semester (i.e. $1,000 scholarship = $500 per fall and spring semester or Tri I and Tri II trimester).

Scholarship recipients are notified by the Financial Aid Office in writing of their awards for the upcoming Fall Semester or Tri I trimester. Those who do not receive a scholarship are notified by the Alumni and Family Relations Office in writing.

Scholarship recipients are required to acknowledge their awards in writing to the Alumni and Family Relations Office and send a letter of appreciation to the Alumni Scholarship Committee.

The Alumni and Family Relations Office may request specific information on all scholarship recipients for publicity purposes. Scholarship recipients may be called upon to participate in Alumni activities, such as reunion, graduation events, mixers, or be requested to attend special events where they can be introduced to Alumni Scholarship Fund donors.
