College of Life Science Scholarships

  • ALL applicants MUST have applied for a university scholarship.
  • Please see your department for department scholarship application instructions.
  • Life Science scholarships are offered for Fall and Winter semesters only.

The primary goal of the College Scholarship Committee is to award a scholarship to as many students as possible. Therefore, applicants receiving a university scholarship will be considered for, but not guaranteed, a college scholarship.

TIPS FOR EXCELLENT APPLICATIONS:

  • Don't miss the deadline. (February 1 at 11:59 PM)
  • Make sure that the application is COMPLETE before you submit it, and that you have hit the "Submit" button when you are done.
  • There is a character limit for the essays of 2000. Because of this, you should be mindful about how you respond.
  • Do not think reviewers skip reading the essays. They do read them and weigh them heavily. Have somebody else proofread your essays.
