Awards can be made based upon scholarship, need or other extenuating circumstances. Stipends are awarded for a single semester and can be renewed through written request each subsequent semester. However, a prior stipend award does not guarantee renewal. The student must be accepted to Stephen F. Austin State University in the Graduate Program in Environmental Science and maintain at least a B average in order to receive these stipends. Deadline for receipt of application materials will be the first day of classes of the semester for which application is made.
Funds are subject to availability.
Students may apply for either a stipend or assistantship award, but may not receive both awards during the course of any given semester. If a student withdraws from a course before completion, he or she will forfeit the remainder of the stipend portion awarded for that course. Furthermore, in order to be eligible for any future stipend or assistantship, he or she must repay any portion of the stipend awarded for the withdrawn course. Eligibility and Application Procedures for Graduate Assistantships Eligibility criteria are as outlined by Stephen F. Austin State University. Funds are subject to availability.
