The Graduate Tuition Scholarship (GTS) scholarship is to support academically excellent and diverse graduate candidates within the College of Health, Education, and Human Services (CHEH) as they enter and progress in their graduate studies. Awards are recommended by the CHEH Graduate Studies Committee.
All awards depend on available funding for each academic semester. There are two criteria for consideration of a Graduate Tuition Scholarship: Scholarship Program for Academic Excellence and for Diversity. Under the Academic Excellence, the criteria for consideration will be based on the student’s overall academic record as described below. Under Diversity, the criteria for consideration is how the candidate meets diversity characteristics as described below.
CHEH Graduate Tuition Scholarship: Academic Excellence encourages candidates who have a minimum 3.4 undergraduate GPA or higher as determined by the Graduate School at the time of the application deadline. If the applicant has already completed nine or more graduate-level semester hours, the applicant’s Graduate-level GPA will be considered and the undergraduate GPA will not be considered.
CHEH Graduate Tuition Scholarship: Diversity encourages students from diverse, under-represented groups with a GPA of 3.0 or greater to apply. The GTS promotes the college goal of broadening the number of traditionally underserved groups (i.e., first generation college students, gender imbalanced professions, LGBT students, African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Native American students, bilingual candidates) under-represented groups related to the various programs included within CHEH. Additional groups may include, but are not limited to: women and minorities in secondary and higher education and leadership, women and minorities in mathematics, science teaching fields and sports management, males and minorities in special education and rehabilitation counseling. Men are under-represented in human services (i.e., counseling and social work), and in student affairs in higher education. People with physical challenges are under-represented in all college programs. These are just examples of the term “under-represented” as considerations for diversity. Candidates who have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher as determined by the Graduate School at the time of the application deadline. If the applicant has already completed nine or more graduate-level semester hours, the applicant’s Graduate-level GPA will be considered and the undergraduate GPA will not be considered.
At the time the faculty review applications, continuing candidates must have regular admission status in an approved program of study within CHEH, and be in good academic standing.
The amount of an award may vary and will be established by the Graduate Studies Committee.
Once awards have been made, the GTS award will be applied by Financial Aid. Students may be eligible for support for three semesters (including summer terms). Requests for continual continuing support may be made for up to six semesters, pending availability of funds. This means that the award will be granted for three semesters and the candidate may reapply for another three semesters (six semesters total).
