Students who are not currently matriculated at CSULB and do not have a CSULB student ID but plan to be enrolled in a program in the College of Education in 2010-2011 will need to contact Nikki Algarin-Chavarria (nalgarin@csulb.edu) to get a copy of the scholarship application.

Q: When will applicants be notified as to whether they received or were declined for a scholarship award?

AWARD ELIGBILITY
Q: What are the enrollment and GPA requirements for student applicants?
A: Minimum criteria are that students maintain a 3.0 GPA and a full load of CSULB courses (6 units- Masters Students/Student Teachers; 12 units - Undergraduates). Please note that some scholarship awards have more competitive GPA and enrollment standards than the minimum College criteria.
Q: Can a student’s scholarship be revoked?
Q: Can a student’s award payment be deferred given extreme circumstances?

Q: How can a student determine why he/she was not awarded a scholarship?
A: We ask that students who do not receive an award not contact the Center for Scholarship Information. Last year alone we had a competitive pool of 250 applicants, and were only able to award 130 scholarships. In order to make the most informed award selections, the College of Education faculty and donor committees carefully evaluate each applicant according to: 1) academic achievement, 2) financial need , 3) personal statement, and 4) letters of recommendation.
SCHOLARSHIP AWARD PROCESS

A: In an effort to provide students with a more substantive award and to streamline the disbursement process, distributions will now be made once a year, approximately 8-10 weeks into the Fall semester.
Q: How will the scholarship awards be delivered to student recipients?
A: To avoid mailing errors and delays, the Center for Scholarship Information will directly deposit awards into student accounts on campus. Funds will then be disbursed in the same manner as are student financial aid awards.
