Upcoming Scholarship Info
September 22, 2009 at 8:13 am by Jeff Fulkerson
Scholarships are like shoes…
…It’s all about finding one that fits you! Fall is one of the busiest times for scholarships and you don’t want to miss out on a grant or fellowship that would be perfect for your future goals. Many scholarships, including the Ford, Hertz, NSF, and Soros scholarships are due in early November. Especially if you are a senior intending on going to grad school, please check out our main page at www.scholars.uci.edu to see what opportunities are quickly approaching.
$20,000 for Grad School in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences
Seniors planning to go to graduate school in select fields may qualify for the Javits prestigious fellowship. While the deadline for SOP review has already passed, you can still apply, and we will still answer any questions you might have about it! To learn more, go to our page about Javits at www.scholars.uci.edu/prestigiousweb.asp?pid=6, or E-mail Charllotte at sklrship@uci.edu.
Planning on going to Germany? DAAD scholarship and workshop
Why not get a stipend for your studies? The DAAD program funds both graduate and undergraduate studies abroad in Germany, and sophomores, juniors, and seniors may apply to the various opportunities they have available. CIE peer advisor and DAAD representative Joanne Buenaventura will be speaking at a couple workshops about DAAD and what it can do for you. Please RSVP to sklrship@uci.edu if you are interested in attending.

CHP on Degree Audit!
September 22, 2009 at 8:11 am by Jeff Fulkerson
For those of you who looked at your degree audit over the summer, you may have noticed that there is now a section to keep track of CHP course requirements. We will do our best to keep this information up to date with any relevant changes according to each individual. If you notice a mistake, please let Mary or Jeff know. Also, keep in mind that having all of the courses checked off in this section does not necessarily mean you have completed all CHP graduation requirements. There are still GPA and thesis requirements which are not represented; the section is meant to show you only your progress through CHP courses.
