How To Apply

Applications for select departmental scholarships are accepted during the spring semester. The application deadline for this award is Monday, February 11, 2013. Graduate students can apply for this award early; however, their Blatchley applications will be held until February, when they will be included with the Blatchley undergraduate applications and submitted to the scholarship committee for review.

To apply, fill out and save the application form using Adobe Reader. Email Kathy Wyss if you plan to apply for a scholarship(s) and tell her who your faculty recommender will be. A separate secure Oncourse project drop box will be created for you and each of your recommenders. Each of you will receive an email containing a link to your drop box so that your materials (completed application packet for the student, letter of recommendation for the faculty member) can be uploaded. For a demonstration of adding materials to your drop box, view this short instructional video.

Recipients of this award will be recognized at a departmental ceremony held on Friday, April 26, 2013, at 3:30 p.m.
