SCHOLARSHIP IN ACTION
MERIT SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

The new Scholarship in Action Merit Scholarships will be awarded starting in fall 2008, with 11 students selected to receive the $6,000 scholarships. Juniors will be awarded two years, seniors one year, and architecture students will receive an extra year because of the five-year duration of their program. Three of the recipients will be from The College of Arts and Sciences. The remaining eight undergraduate schools and colleges will receive one scholarship each.

To be eligible, students must have:

1) Entered the University without a merit scholarship from SU

2) Completed two years of study at SU and achieved junior status during the first semester of the scholarship

3) Earned an overall grade point average of 3.0

4) Demonstrated scholarship in action in their time at SU

A rising junior who applies but does not receive a scholarship may reapply for his or her senior year. In order to maintain their scholarships, students will be required to meet the same academic standards that are required for other academic/competitive scholarships.

To apply, a student must complete the Scholarship in Action Merit Scholarship Application by May 1, 2009 and submit it to:
