Break for some opportunities!

Hello all!

I just wanted to take a second to wish everyone a safe and relaxing "spring" break next week! Do you have any really exciting plans?! Of course I'm going to Tennessee which is having an icy time right now, just like here but either way, it's nice to get away!

I wanted to let everyone know about a scholarship that would be great for all of you to apply for! It is the Connelly Commuter Scholarship, a one time award of $250 for several recipients and the deadline is March 1st, 2015.

Here are the requirements:

1.      Be an undergraduate or pre-bachelor student who has completed at least one semester at EMU.

2.      Have a minimum EMU grade point average of 2.0 and maintain good academic standing for 2014-2015.

3.      Be in good judicial standing with Student Judicial Services.

4.      Have financial need as determined by the Office of Financial Aid for 2014- 2015.

5.      Be enrolled at least half-time (6 credit hours) for Fall 2014 and Winter 2015.

6.      Commute from at least 15 miles away or be living in your family’s home.

7.      Commit to actively seek involvement and learning on EMU’s campus (beyond the classroom) during your year as scholarship recipient (i.e. student organizations, undergraduate research, student employment, volunteerism, etc.).

8.      Agree to meet with a member of the Connelly Commuter Scholarship Committee in Winter semester to discuss your progress of active campus involvement.

This is a great opportunity to help yourself get more involved on campus!

Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming survey going out for non-traditional student interests!

Thanks so much!

P.S. This is what my to-do list for over break looks like, what about yours? :)
