Huntington University
Natural and Mathematical Sciences Scholarship Criteria
2008

Description 

Scholarships of $2500 are available for two incoming students majoring in biology, chemistry, computer science, or mathematics, renewable for up to four years for students who continue to meet specified criteria, in addition to any other scholarships for which students may be eligible.

Selection Process 

To be eligible, a prospective student must do the following:

1.      File an Application for Admission with Huntington University with a declared intent to major in biology, chemistry, computer science, or mathematics as a primary area of interest.  The application form may be completed online at www.huntington.edu/admissions/ and also requires the submission of a $20 application fee, a high school transcript, and ACT or SAT test scores (often included on the transcript).  All application materials including transcripts and test scores must be received by February 15, 2008.  Please note that the $20 application fee will be waived for students who have both applied and visited campus by December 1.

2.      Attend at least one of the following:
November 2, 2007 Math and Science Visit Day (especially for seniors but open to juniors)
February 22, 2008  Math and Science Visit Day (for juniors or seniors)
February 8, 2008 Presidential Scholar Celebration Day (by invitation only) 

For students who have met the criteria above, the selection committee will also consider factors including SAT or ACT scores, high school GPA, and high school courses completed.   

Notification Timelines 

Scholarship recipients will be notified of the award typically during the first week of March.   

Criteria for Scholarship Renewal 

Any student chosen as a scholarship recipient must meet the following criteria in order to continue receiving the award each semester:

1. Be enrolled as a full-time student at Huntington University.
2. Declare a major in biology, chemistry, computer science, or mathematics upon initial registration and continue actively pursuing one of these declared majors, as evidenced by the courses of study.  However, the student may change majors within these four majors if desired.
3. Maintain a cumulative Huntington University GPA of at least 3.0.
4. Complete the degree in ten semesters or fewer.  Ordinarily, students will be expected to complete the degree within eight semesters; but a change of major within the division, illness during a semester, or other extenuating circumstances may warrant aid beyond the eight semesters, provided that the student is also making appropriate progress toward the degree.
