AUXILIARY SCHOLARSHIPS MADE EASY WITH ONLINE APPLICATION
UH
Auxiliary Services made it simple
for students to get some financial
help with the new online application
process for the Barnes and Noble
Textbook Scholarship and the Meal
Plan Scholarship. Applications for
both scholarships are now being
accepted from qualifying
undergraduate students until July
15, 2011.
�The meal plan and textbook
scholarships were the easiest
scholarships that I have ever
applied for,� said Sarah Chesley,
public relations senior. �I didn�t
have to submit a lot of information
or write an essay. It took about a
minute to complete!�
UH Auxiliary Services offers the
scholarship to show support for
students� success and access.
Instead of filling out, printing the
application and turning it in at the
Welcome Center, students can now
complete the application from their
home computer. This year the
eligibility requirements have
changed for the scholarships.
�We want our scholarships to not
only be a recruiting tool, but a
retention tool,� said Deborah Marks
of auxiliary operations. �The
establishment of the new criteria
allows us to easily target incoming
academically strong freshmen and
transfer students, as well as our
academically strong returning
students.�
To be eligible for the scholarships,
admitted undergraduate students must
meet one of the following
qualifications:
- Academic Excellence Scholar with
an SAT score range from 1100 � 1190
or an ACT score range from 24-26
- Dean�s List with a GPA of 3.5 or
higher
- Transfer Excellence Scholar with a
GPA of 3.0 or higher
Ten lucky students will receive the
Barnes and Noble Textbook
Scholarship to get the maximum of
$800 per year ($400 per semester) to
use toward their textbooks and
supplies at the UH Bookstore. The
scholarship will be transferred
electronically to the bookstore and
unused funds will be returned to the
textbook scholarship account. Four
new or incoming students, four
returning students and two transfer
students will be awarded the
textbook scholarship this year. It
is renewable for a period of two
years.
For the Meal Plan Scholarship, eight
students will receive a Lifestyle 21
meal plan per semester. This year,
the scholarships will go to four new
or incoming students, two returning
students and two transfer students.
Recipients for both scholarships
will be selected by the University
Scholarship Committee before the
fall semester. Applications for the
Meal Plan Scholarship and Barnes and
Noble Textbook Scholarship can be
found on the
UH
Scholarships and Financial Aid
website.
