School of Communication Scholarships and Criteria

2013-2014 academic year

The School of Communication is always working to expand scholarship opportunities for its students; we have more deserving students than we do scholarships but we encourage you to begin applying as a rising junior and then as a rising senior. These scholarships provide modest tuition remission to the recipients who are generally chosen in June and notifed by email. 

For information about scholarship opportunities for School of Communication students and/or external resources, please contact Dean Marlowe
