Alumni Association Scholarships


Scholarships are awarded based upon application for admission. Scholarship criteria are subject to change. Scholarships are evaluated each June, at which time criteria and values are confirmed for students who will begin applying in August.

Admitted students can take advantage of AwardSpring, a unified scholarship application that faculty and staff utilize to award Foundation scholarships. This one application serves as the application to all Foundation scholarships, as well as Alumni Association Scholarships, for which a student is eligible. Students can click on the AwardSpring icon through MyUSI and begin completing a single application. The software will automatically match potential recipients to scholarships based on the information provided on the application. The AwardSpring application deadline is the end of January each year.
