CNRE Scholarship Application Process

The Scholarship Gateway is now open for you to apply for scholarships within the university and the College of Natural Resources & Environment. Applications for scholarships for the 2012-2013 academic year are being submitted as follows.

To apply:

• Go to University Scholarships and Financial Aid » General Scholarships
• Follow the steps outlined in the User Guide:
  • First, log in to the scholarship gateway.
  • Enter your demographic information.
  • Next, go to the Main Menu. In the right column, click on Natural Resources and Environment Application. This will bring you to a page for our college, and you can provide the additional information requested on that page. Please be sure you provide information for all 6 of the items requested, and upload it as one document. You have until March 1, 2012 to complete your application.

Applications go into a general pool and are reviewed by CNRE department heads. Their recommendations are then forwarded to the academic dean for final review. Currently enrolled students selected to receive scholarships will be notified by early summer, typically by the end of June at the latest. Students accepted for Fall 2012 who are selected to receive a scholarship will be notified by late March.
