2012 LHU Foundation Scholarship Opportunities

Scholarship Application Information & Descriptions

Please read the program procedures carefully:

The Lock Haven University Foundation Scholarship Program is held during the spring semester providing recognition and financial assistance to students who are selected using a range of criteria. There are two ways in which the selection process takes place.

  1. Recipients are chosen by a departmental committee which establishes its own process, policies, procedures and deadlines or

  2. A Lock Haven University Foundation scholarship committee selects the recipients.

The scholarships are listed according to department or activity within each college and the Foundation.

STUDENT APPLICANTS, please watch for department announcements
and contact the chairperson of the department for selection process information and department deadlines.

If applying for departmental scholarships you must submit your completed application directly to the Department Contact Person listed.

If the scholarship falls within the category of “General Scholarships,” you must complete the entire application form and return it to the Student Financial Services Office by the deadline. 

  • Note deadlines.

  • It is important to have completed applications returned by deadlines so they can be processed in time for recipients to be included in the award ceremonies.

  • Students who are interested in those scholarships awarded by departments are instructed to contact the department chairperson for application procedure and department deadlines. Applications are to be completed and submitted to the appropriate department. Unless noted otherwise, deadline for scholarship application submission is Friday, February 17, 2012.

  • Students applying for General Foundation Scholarships must return completed applications to the Student Financial Services Office in Russell Hall by Friday, February 17, 2012.

  • Foundation awards and scholarships are presented at the Spring Convocation on Sunday, April 15, 2012.

  • Recipients must attend the Convocation ceremony and write a letter of thanks to the donor in order to receive awards. This requirement may be waived only if acceptable excuses are received by the Foundation Office no later than Friday, April 13, 2012.

  • Amounts of Awards are an approximation of what is likely to be available.

  • Some awards may be divided among multiple recipients.

  • Monetary awards will be applied to the succeeding semesters’ accounts in the Student Financial Services Office. Awards of $500 or more will be split between the next two semesters.

  • Please note that if financial need is a stated requirement to be eligible to receive the scholarship, the LHU Foundation requires proof of need from the LHU Student Financial Services Office. 
 

Questions and Answers

Question

Answer

Who is responsible
for making selections?

 

Most recipients are selected by departmental scholarship committees. There are some scholarships and awards which are processed by a committee comprised of representatives from the Admissions Office, Financial Aid Office, the Lock Haven University Foundation, Alumni Office and Student Affairs. Those awards given by departments are listed in the front of this booklet, and those given by the Foundation Committee are listed in the back of this booklet.

Is financial
status considered when making selections?
 

Financial need is often among the criteria stated in the scholarship when established by the donor, while in some cases, it is eliminated. When not included in the selection statement, if applications have equal qualifications, financial status may become a consideration.

Will an
award affect your financial aid?

Federal and State guidelines require that other financial aid be taken into consideration. However, should a reduction be necessary, it will occur in the loan or employment area rather than in the award.

Is there any obligation involved with
the scholarship program?

The awards are "gifts" with no repayment or service required. However, in the future, we ask that you support the Foundation with your contributions so
that future students will continue to benefit from
this program.

Do recipients
have to attend Convocation?

Attendance is mandatory in order to receive awards. This is a ceremony which not only recognizes the student recipients but also the benefactors who have established the scholarships and may be present.
