International Student Scholarship University of Nebraska Kearney Policy and Procedures Purpose: The International Student Scholarship (ISS scholarship) program at the University of Nebraska Kearney is intended to recognize outstanding academic performance of international students. Additionally, the review committee will consider the contribution of applicants to extra curricular activities on campus and in the community. The scholarships are tuition waivers, which pay a portion of an international student’s tuition during the period of award. Awards are made for the academic year. Application Procedures: International Student Scholarships are awarded to students who are admitted as international students. Typically a student will have to accumulate a minimum of 24 undergraduate or 18 graduate UNK credit hours before becoming eligible to submit a scholarship application. Students are no longer eligible for scholarships after completing 125 undergraduate or 30 graduate UNK credit hours. The minimal cumulative grade point average for consideration is 2.8. Applications for scholarships should be submitted to the UNK Office of International Student Services, located in Welch Hall, by March 1st. A committee that is responsible for final award decisions based on available funds, will review all applications. Selection for the scholarship will be primarily based on academic performance of the applicant. However, participation in campus and community activities will be a secondary factor. Scholarships are awarded for one academic year, but are renewable under terms and conditions outlined in the scholarship offer. Students will be notified if they have failed to meet the renewal criteria. Students will not be notified if their scholarship is renewed. If an International Student Scholarship recipient receives another tuition waiver from the University or an outside agency, the amount of the International Student Scholarship grant will be reduced so the student’s total tuition costs are not exceeded by the combination. International Student Scholarship awards are based on full-time enrollment. Enrollment status is verified on the last day of drop and add. The International Student Scholarship award will be cancelled if the student is not full-time on the last day of drop and add. Applications for International Student Scholarships are available after February 1 in the Office of Financial Aid in the Memorial Student Affairs Building, or the Office of International Student Services in Welch Hall. You may access the application and Allocation Criteria at the link below. The application requests that students write a short essay (one page), which covers the following information: Grade level Major Country of Origin Professional goals after completing your degree at UNK Description of your involvement in campus and community activities. Attach the required essay to the application. You may also request references from faculty or other UNK personnel who are familiar with your performance. Please limit your references to two (2).
