The University Staff Senate’s deadline for receipt of the entire fall scholarship application packet is 4:30 p.m. today.
The University Staff Senate has established a fund to provide scholarship awards to qualifying SIUE students. To be eligible for consideration for a scholarship award, the student must meet the following criteria:
1. Student must be the son, daughter, grandchild, spouse or civil union partner of a presently employed or retired civil service (excluding non-status) or professional staff employee (excluding appointments of less than 50 percent and term appointments of less than six months) of SIUE.
2. Student must meet admissions requirements for undergraduate study at SIUE and be enrolled for the Fall 2019 semester.
3. Applicants with fewer than 12 semester hours earned in college:
- Must have an ACT composite of 19 or above (unless exempt because of SIUE’s admission standards)
- Must have at least a high school GPA of 2.5 on a scale of 4.0=A
4. Applicants with 12 or more semester hours earned in college:
- Must have completed at least one term as a full-time college student
- Must have at least a college GPA of 2.5 on a scale of 4.0=A.
5. Applicants may apply more than once during their academic career, but the applicant may receive the award only once every two years.
The scholarship award will be applied to the university account for the semester. This award will be reported to the Office of Student Financial Aid to be considered in evaluating the overall financial aid package. Should this amount combined with other awards or payments cause a credit balance on the account, a refund check will be mailed from the Bursar's Office.
