The scholarship will be renewable for up to four years for students pursuing degrees in either the College of Arts and Sciences or the Conservatory of Music, and up to five years for students who are pursuing a double degree.<br> <br> Each year, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ dedicates more than $60 million dollars to financial aid to support students and their families and is committed to making higher education affordable for all who aspire to join the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ community. By meeting 100 percent of every student's demonstrated financial need, it is ensured that an Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ education is accessible to students from all financial backgrounds. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s generous merit-aid policy provides an opportunity to further address the rising cost of college for all admitted students while also rewarding their achievements.&nbsp;<br> <br> In many cases, the $10,000 Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Commitment Scholarship will be part of a larger need- and/or merit-based package that will be calculated once a student has been admitted. Providing the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Commitment Scholarship to all students as a baseline sends the strong message that the college is committed to making an Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ education affordable for everyone. It is important that Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ College reaffirms its commitment to accessibility in this straightforward, universal manner, especially during these uncertain times.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">- ### -</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Releases</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2020-09-25T12:00:00Z">Fri, 09/25/2020 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Office of Communications</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2556">Admissions</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2359">Administration</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2385">Community</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Yvonne Gay</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/width_760/public/content/news/image/cox_summer_0.jpg?itok=jfpFXEYF" width="758" height="510" alt="Building entry door framed by tree and flowers"> </div> Fri, 25 Sep 2020 18:56:04 +0000 swargo 307481 at
