Objective :: Eligibility :: Deadline :: Application Form

Selection of Scholarship Recipient (s)

The Scholarship Committee will act as scholarship administrator and will be responsible for selecting and nominating the proposed recipient(s) to the chapter for acceptance and final approval. The Committee will use the applicant’s scholastic average, letters of recommendation, copy of their JSU acceptance letter, and essay as the selection criteria. Financial need is not an overall determining factor; however, it may be used at the discretion of the committee.

Preference will be given to new applicants who satisfy the scholarship requirements. The recipient(s) will be notified no later than April 14, 2003. The scholarship will be presented on April 25, 2003, at the Chapter’s annual Scholarship Dinner and Dance. The scholarship award will be applied to the cost of out-of-state tuition. (For students residing in the District of Columbia, the scholarship award will be applied towards regular tuition and fees.)

One half of the scholarship will be given each semester. The awards of money are as follow: Freshman and Sophomore - $500.00, Junior - $1,000.00, and Senior - $2,000.00.
