Scholarships, Awards, and Student Financial Support

Departmental awards and scholarships are presented by the aGES faculty at the department's annual awards banquet in April.

To be eligible for these merit-based awards, a student must be taking a full-time load of aGES courses and be making reasonable progress toward graduation. Substantial factors in determining scholarship and award winners are enthusiasm, academic achievement, and promise as a professional. Definitions of academic class (i.e. freshman, sophomore, etc.) are those specified in the Undergraduate Bulletin. Please note that several of these scholarships require applications; check the AGES Internships, Scholarships, and Jobs database for more information on upcoming due dates, eligibility, etc.
