School of Communication Scholarships and Criteria

2011-2012 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.
