Applicants must have completed an associate's degree with a 3.5 grade point average in a transferable area of interest and must apply within one year after their graduation from the community college. The Community College Merit Scholarship is awarded on a competitive basis. Applicants must apply separately for admission to a University College degree program. These scholarships provide partial assistance to students seeking a graduate degree or certificate in University College. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need and promise of academic success.
Available funds are extremely limited.
Awards are limited to University College courses required to fulfill degree or certificate requirements and that have been approved by the applicant's academic advisor. Students will not receive assistance for more than six credit hours per semester. First consideration will be given to those applicants who do not receive employee tuition remission. Scholarships are renewable based on maintaining a 3.0 grade point average or better and proof of financial need on an annual basis. Dean's fellowships are available to a limited number of University College degree or certificate candidates who have achieved a minimum 3.70 grade point average based on at least 30 units of undergraduate or 3.75 grade point average based on at least 15 units of graduate work in University College.
