Acceptance Conditions for Program Scholarship Awards
The Candidate selected to receive each incoming student scholarship will be notified via the email address he or she included on the application. Acceptance of the award will be assumed if the recipient has already paid the tuition deposit, barring a request to forfeit the award. If the selected Candidate has not yet paid the deposit, he or she must (a) inform the Graduate Program Coordinator (si-mba@uvm.edu) of their intent to accept the award within 7 days following the initial notification, and (b) ensure a nonrefundable deposit check in the amount of $500 is received by the Graduate Program Coordinator within 14 days of the initial notification; should these conditions not be met, the selected Candidate forfeits the award, which will then be offered to the next ranked Candidate.
All scholarship awards will be applied toward tuition balances for Modules 1 through 4, contingent upon the successful completion of the summer online preparation courses and the recipient’s active enrollment in the Fall 2024 semester.
