Being a college student is expensive. Students work hard, in and out of the classroom and there is an opportunity to be rewarded for all of that diligent labor! The College of Forestry Scholarship Application for the 2015-2016 Academic Year is now open!
To be eligible to receive a scholarship award ALL students must:
- Maintain full-time enrollment (at least 12 credits) during Fall, Winter, and Spring terms.
- The College of Forestry must be on record as your primary college (for students who have double majors).
- Make reasonable and continued progress toward your College of Forestry degree program while receiving a scholarship.
- If dual enrolled in the Degree Partnership Program, at least 6 of the minimum 12 required per term credits must be at OSU. You also must provide the CoF proof of your community college registration.
- Maintain high academic standards (generally considered to be at least a 3.0 OSU Accumulative GPA for continuing students; minimum GPA expectations are similar for first-year students and transfer students).
Through the generosity of our donors, the College awarded over $500,000 in undergraduate scholarships for the 2014-15 academic year with individual awards ranging from $1,000 – $9,000. The average cumulative GPA of those students awarded was 3.53. While scholarships are generally based on academic performance, some are specific to need, degree program, or other criteria set by our donors, so don’t hesitate to apply.
The scholarship deadline is March 15, 2015!
If you have any questions about the scholarship application process, please don’t hesitate to contact the Student Services Office at 547-737-1594!
Good luck on your application!
