Details

The Office of Alumni Relations will notify the scholarship recipients of their selection prior to the beginning of the fall semester. The Alumni Association’s Legacy Committee will be responsible for selecting the recipients. The selection process is competitive and is based on need, GPA, test scores, and essays on the application. The essays are used to break a tie. Award recipients are required to be an active member of the Student Alumni Association, and attend the Distinguished Alumni Award Luncheon to be recognized as a legacy scholar. Legacy scholars will be treated to lunch at that event. Guests are welcome to attend, but they are responsible for their own ticket to the event.
