Future Students Undergraduate Scholarships and Financial Aid
Spears School of Business (General) Scholarships

Although you can access and print the scholarship application at any time, this application must be accompanied by a transcript on which your Fall semester grades appear. Thus, the Dean's Office (201 Spears School of Business ) will begin accepting completed applications at the beginning of the spring semester. The deadline for turning in completed applications is 5 p.m. on the first Friday of February. You can also obtain a hard copy of the application in 201 Spears School of Business beginning on December 1.Majors in the Spears School of Business have the opportunity to apply for a number of different scholarships. Several of these scholarships have a perpetual existence because they are endowed. The others are made possible because of a yearly donation from the donor and may not always be available.

Most scholarship recipients are selected by a scholarship committee within the Spears School of Business. The same application is used to apply for most of these endowed or "yearly" scholarships - you can either obtain it in 201 Business Building beginning on December 1 or you can download it here.  You will be provided with a link in the scholarship information below for any scholarship requiring an additional or alternate application.

The Spears School of Business Scholarship application is available now.  This application must be accompanied by an unofficial transcript and your Student Aid Report (SAR).  You can get a copy of your SAR by going to www.fafsa.gov. If you are unable to obtain your SAR, you can go to the Scholarships and Financial Aid office (213 Student Union) and have them fill out the shaded box on the application with your EFC amount.  This needs to be a dollar amount not just a one digit number.  If you have never completed a FAFSA, then you do not need to provide this information.  Applications are due by February 6, 2009 in the Spears School Dean's office (201 Business Building).
