GRADUATE STUDIES SCHOLARSHIP POLICIES
The Office of Graduate Studies offers $1000 academic competitive scholarships based on recommendations from graduate Department Chairs. Masters/Doctoral students interested in a scholarship must contact their department to see if they qualify. The criteria required by your department may be higher than those set by the Graduate Office. The requirements for the Office of Graduate Studies are as follows.
  1. Students who are awarded scholarships must be fully accepted into a graduate program, must be in good academic standing, and must be enrolled full-time (9 hours) in the Fall and Spring semesters. Newly recruited students for Summer must enroll (3 hours) in two Summer sessions.


  2. Students must successfully complete all hours enrolled and maintain a 3.0 grade point average to receive continued support.


  3. Students enrolled in thesis courses are not required to be full-time.


  4. Students who are graduating may enroll for fewer than 9 hours but must have a memorandum in the Graduate Studies Office from the Department Chair verifying their graduation.


  5. Students removed from the scholarship list for any reason may submit a letter of appeal to the Graduate Dean and must be accompanied by a letter of support from the student’s Department Chair. The final decision is made by the Graduate Dean.


  6. Students receiving a Non-Resident Tuition Waiver must receive the full $1000 scholarship to be in compliance with Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board regulations.
