Your Foundation scholarship(s) will be included as a part of your financial aid package and will be added to your student account. Typically, scholarships are divided in half and applied equally to the fall and spring semesters or equally between fast-track terms for fall and spring.
You must accept your scholarship(s) and complete your post acceptance process, which includes submitting your thank you letter(s) as instructed, by the deadline listed in your award notification.
You may be invited to Radford University's Partners in Excellence luncheon, which honors our donors and celebrates our students.
You must continue to meet the scholarship criteria, which may include major, full-time status, GPA, conduct, academic progress, etc.
For Foundation scholarships in which demonstrated financial need is included as part of the criteria, a FAFSA must be on file through the Financial Aid Office.
For either full-time or part-time students, total Foundation scholarship awards, or the combination of Foundation scholarship awards and other aid programs, cannot exceed the cost of attendance.
Fall-only requests: If a student anticipates graduating in the fall, the spring portion of the scholarship may be awarded for the fall semester (not to exceed the cost of attendance).
Many Foundation scholarship awards are based on full-time attendance at Radford University. If a student drops below full-time status for a scholarship that requires full- time status, the scholarship will be removed.
Students should complete a scholarship application each year to be considered because some scholarships require re-application.
All scholarships are subject to the availability of funds and may or may not be awarded each year, depending on the current economic condition.
Although every effort is made to present the most accurate information, the information provided herein is subject to change due to federal, state or University regulation or policy or University funding.
