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.
