Political Science Academic Scholarship
The Political Science Academic Scholarship is given annually to graduate students with exceptional academic achievement. The monetary award varies from $500 - $2,500 per academic year. Students are responsible for submitting applications to the Political Science Department. Part-time and full-time graduate students may apply, provided they meet the following criteria:
- Graduate GPA of at least a 3.0; or, for students without previous graduate credit, a cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least a 3.0;
- Unconditional acceptance in the MA Political Science Program.
Preference will be given to those graduate students who have taken less than 18 graduate credit hours. Students must send: (a) a cover letter; (b) a resume; (c) a copy of their undergraduate and graduate transcripts; and (d) two recent academic letters of recommendation. Students may apply to both the Academic Scholarship and Need-Based Assistance Scholarship, but they will not be eligible to be awarded both scholarships simultaneously. Applications are due by October 15.
The awardee will be chosen by the Political Science Academic and Need-Based Assistance Scholarship Committee.
NOTE: The committee may recommend that no awards be presented for the year.
