Deadlines Near for
Scholarship Seekers
MTSU Offers Advice, Resource Options
Prospective and returning MTSU students seeking merit
scholarships and awards for the 2009-10 academic year must
submit all their information by the priority deadline of
December 1, 2008 according to MTSU Admissions and Financial Aid
officials.
“There is no separate scholarship application form,” Said Lynn
Palmer, director of admissions at MTSU. “By applying for
admission, you are in the pool to be considered for merit
scholarships.”
Each student should submit an admission application, official
ACT or SAT test scores and an official transcript to the
admissions office. Information mailed with a December 1
postmark will meet the deadline. Students who apply between
December 2, 2008 and February 15, 2009, may be considered if
funding is available.
Merit scholarships and awards include National Merit and
National Achievement Finalist, Valedictorians and Salutatorians
and Chancellor, Presidential, Buchanan Fellowship, Academic
Service, Provost and Raider scholarships. Transfer applicants
must submit official college transcripts. The scholarship
deadline for transfer applicants is February 1st.
In addition to academic scholarships on our scholarship Web page
(at
www.mtsu.edu), we have links to foundation (and other)
scholarships,” said David Chambers, associate director of
financial aid. “Some of them have December 1st
deadlines but others don’t have deadlines.”
Persons having questions about scholarships should contact Julie
Hughes, scholarship coordinator at MTSU, at (615) 898-5096.
To be eligible for state and federal loans and apply for lottery
scholarships, Chambers suggests that students or prospective
students fill out a FAFSA form, available online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov.
“To maximize their chance for state aid, students need to
complete FAFSA during February,” he said. “The state ran out of
state grant money in February last year.”

898-2111 or check the web site
