Additional Summer College Scholarship Opportunities
There is the opportunity for students who are interested in specific fields of study to apply for awards. Interested students should complete the additional merit essay on their application and write about the contribution they will make to their selected course. The merit scholarship deadline is March 1, but funds are awarded on a rolling basis and may therefore be fully expended prior to that date so early application submission is encouraged.
