The scholarships and awards program also represents a rich history of USM alumni and friends who have given to the University, and by their gifts have encouraged our finest students. Please note that the scholarship award process is divided into academic awards and general awards. How it works All of the scholarships use one single application form and time line. The application is usually available around Thanksgiving, and can be found at all locations of the Financial Aid Office, the Career Center, campus libraries, Deans' offices, Athletics, the Honors House, and other high traffic locations. The General Awards Committee is composed of students, student affairs staff members, faculty members, and the director of Career Services and Cooperative Education who acts as the chair.
Benefits Completing the application and asking for a reference are good practice.
Also, USM is interested in rewarding well-rounded students who stand out academically and excel in community service. Students pay an annual membership fee and reasonable program fees. Sexual Assault Education and Investigation USM has a full-time manager of Sexual Assault Programs. The manager provides educational programming designed to increase awareness about sexual assault, risk reduction strategies, and prevention. Confidential information and referrals are provided, as well as the investigation of sexual assaults that occur on campus.
