|
| Do I need to submit a separate
application form for each scholarship? |
No
|
|
| If I am applying for more
than one scholarship can I send in only one copy of the
documents required (references, transcripts, research summary,
essay)? |
Yes
|
Only one copy of your references,
transcripts, research summary, essay is required, along
with a brief cover letter stating which scholarships you
are applying for. |

evaluation forms in my package, as long as they are signed
across the envelope seal? |

|
|
| Can I submit a copy of my
official transcripts |
Yes
|
A clear copy or a printout
from an official online student record is acceptable. |
| The criteria list says that
I must submit official academic transcripts from all previous
university course work. I was at a college for 2 years before
I did my BA, and some of these courses were transferred
as credit for my BA. Should I submit these transcripts as
well? |
Yes
|
If you submit the transcripts
for your BA which includes the transfer credits, that will
be sufficient. However, you should include a note indicating
this, so that the Scholarship Committee will know the background.

the awards early in 2012. |

You may apply for multiple
scholarships but may only be awarded one for the year. |

be completed by any professor at my university? |
