The Provost’s First Summer Scholarship is a limited scholarship available for a few students. If the scholarship decision impacts your ability to participate in the program, all students registered in the program have until June 26th to cancel program attendance and receive a refund of any paid fees (minus the $45 University enrollment fee).

Scholarship funds for First Summer are limited. This scholarship is not in any way tied to federal or other guaranteed financial aid awards during the regular academic year. We will unfortunately not be able to offer scholarships to all students with demonstrated need. Students who are offered a scholarship may be offered funds sufficient to cover all or only part of First Summer costs.

To be eligible, applicants must submit this application by June 1 and must:

• -Demonstrate high financial need based on the financial aid application submitted to the University (your 2024-2025 FAFSA submission will be evaluated to determine eligibility)
• -Complete a personal essay

The personal essay must be a one-page, double-spaced narrative explaining your current academic goals, why you are interested in the First Summer program, and how you think this experience will enhance your undergraduate experience and have an impact on your future.

Scholarship decisions will be released by June 17.
