Homecoming scholarships are privately funded and are awarded
at the annual MCAOM Great River Symposium and Winter Gathering.
A list of potentially available scholarships are provided
below.
APPLICATION INFORMATION: 2009 GREAT RIVER SYMPOSIUM
AND WINTER GATHERING SCHOLARSHIPS
Application Deadline: To be announced.
Eligibility: U.S. and international MCAOM
students, T2 and above.
Application forms: Application forms are
available online (click on the links listed below for each
scholarship) or you may pick up forms in the Student Records
and Financial Services office (SRFS).
Application Process: Turn in your application,
with attachments, to the Student Records and Financial Services
office no later than 4:30 p.m. on the day of the application
deadline.
This general information is for your review and is subject
to change. As deadlines for application are established, the
Student Records and Financial Services office (SRFS) will
notify enrolled MCAOM students via email about the application
process.
Funding for most of these scholarships is dependent on economic
trends over the past year. Based on this information, the
Accounting Department informs us what scholarships can be
offered and the dollar amounts that can be awarded. In order
to give you something to apply for, a list is provided of
possible scholarships. If there are particular scholarships
on the list that interest you, make sure all of the criteria
required for that scholarship are included with your application
form. You may submit criteria for more than one scholarship.
Most of the scholarships require a Faculty Evaluation &
Recommendation Form. A Faculty Evaluation & Recommendation
Form will be available online or may be picked up in the SRFS
office. You may leave those forms with a faculty member, who
will be responsible for forwarding the completed form to the
SRFS office by the application deadline. One completed form
can be used for multiple scholarships.
NOTE: If you are required to complete a Free
Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) because you are normally
eligible to receive federal student loans, you must have already
filed your FAFSA prior to submitting a scholarship application
in order to be considered for an award.
Award recipients will be decided by the NWHSU Scholarship
Advisory Committee at the end of January. All award recipients
will be notified by e-mail. Recipients will be asked to attend
the evening dinner during the MCAOM Great River Symposium
and Winter Gathering where all names, trimester levels, and
state/province of residency will be announced to the attendees.
If you have any questions about the scholarships or process
for awarding, please contact Marla Warner in the SRFS office
at (952) 888-4777, ext. 440 or mwarner@nwhealth.edu.
