Q: I will be a new graduate student in
the School of Education starting in the fall 2008 semester. Am
I
eligible for scholarships?
A: Not through this process. There is a limited pool of recruitment scholarship money for
incoming graduate students in the School of Education. To find out
about these one-time scholarship opportunities, please contact the
academic department to which you are applying.
Q: I am an undergraduate student planning
to transfer to KU. Can I apply for these scholarships?
A: Yes, you can apply for a School of Education scholarship as long as you are admitted to the School of Education for the Fall of 2008.
Q: If I am selected, how will the award be
given to me?
A: These scholarships will be applied directly to your tuition bill.
Scholarships are administered by academic year. Awards are given
in two equal disbursements - one in the fall semester and one in
the spring. So if a student received a $1,000 scholarship, $500
would be applied to his/her fall tuition bill, and $500 would be
applied to his/her spring tuition bill.
Q: What if I have other scholarships that,
combined with a School of Education scholarship, are more than the
cost of my tuition?
A: If there is a remaining balance after your scholarships are subtracted
from your tuition bill, you will be issued a refund check by the
KU Comptroller's Office. To receive your refund check, you must
pick it up in person at Carruth O'Leary Hall with a photo ID after
you receive your semester tuition bill. The Comptroller’s Office
will notify you when it is time to pick up your refund check.
Q: How many hours of classes must I take to
be eligible for School of Education scholarships?
A: Undergraduate students must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 hours
each semester they receive a scholarship. 5th Year Professional, Graduate Licensing Program (GLP) and Graduate students must
be enrolled in at least 6 hours each semester.
Q: What if I my plans change after I have
completed the scholarship application, and I decide to attend only
one semester? Can I have my entire year’s award applied to
one semester’s tuition bill?
A: No. Scholarships are not transferable between semesters. In this
case, you will receive only one semester’s portion of your
scholarship award. Awards are granted based on the enrollment information
provided on your scholarship application. *Please IMMEDIATELY notify us if you will not be attending*
Q: I received a School of Education scholarship
last year. Am I eligible for scholarships again this year?
A: Yes, you are eligible to apply this year. The Scholarship Council
invites all education students to apply each year.
