Scholarships
The list of Spring
2008 Scholarships and Awards is now available at the Office
of Financial Aid web site.
Some scholarships and awards
have financial need listed as one of the criteria.
Typically, these awards require applicants to submit a Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to demonstrate
proof of financial need. Since international students
are not eligible to receive federal student aid,
they cannot submit the FAFSA form. However, to ensure
that all international students have an equal opportunity
to apply for scholarships and awards, our office
has worked in collaboration with the Office of Financial Aid to provide
a "financial
need" form specifically for
international students who wish to apply for scholarships
and awards based on financial need.
You are therefore invited
to apply for scholarships and awards listed. Please
read each scholarship and award very carefully for
the list of qualifying criteria as well as the
supporting documents required. EVERY student MUST
submit the 2007-2008 Scholarship & Award
Application found on the above-referenced web site
(click on "Application" on the left column).
In addition (for
international students only), if
the award/scholarship indicates that you must submit a FAFSA form,
you need to submit both the International
Student Scholarship Application and Financial
Disclosure Form.
We encourage all international students to apply
for these awards and scholarships. Please take note of the different
deadlines for each award/scholarship. Good luck with your applications.
