The President’s Staff Scholarship Program pays $300 tuition per semester for full-time staff who have not already earned a bachelor’s degree.  For more information on the President’s Staff Scholarship, contact the Office of Scholarships at ext.5478.  These applications were emailed to eligible staff May 2012.
