EHE Scholarship Information & Instructions
We know what a scholarship, fellowship, or grant can mean when you are counting every penny. And many Education and Human Ecology donors have memories of getting financial aid just when they needed it the most. Other donors were faculty who taught new generations of scholars and continued to mentor them through generous giving.
As a result, students in the College of Education and Human Ecology received more than $1 million in aid for 2008-2009. About one-fourth of our scholarships are granted to outstanding undergraduate students, while master's and Ph.D. students receive the remaining $750,000. For the 2009-2010 academic year, our college awarded over $825,000 in scholarship funding, with again about a fourth of this going to undergraduate students.
Last year, the College rewarded our most superior students with extra-special honors. Those whom the Graduate School selected as University Fellows received an additional $2,000 from the College. In addition, Chair's and Director's awards for outstanding new master's and doctoral students provided full tuition, a monthly stipend, and an allowance for travel to professional conferences.
Most scholarships within the College of Education and Human Ecology are awarded on an annual basis. Please see the scholarship page for more information regarding particular awards that are given throughout the year and other opportunities available to students.
Students may now begin applying for scholarships for the 2010-2011 academic year. Please see the "How to Apply" page for more information.
As an EHE student, you are encouraged to apply for college aid. Good luck!
