Greetings once again from the College of St. Catherine, soon to be St. Catherine University.
This email comes as a friendly reminder that the priority deadline for undergraduate international student scholarship applications is March 15, 2009 for entry in the Fall (August) semester. We do grant scholarships to students who apply after March 15, but those scholarships are generally smaller.
Please encourage any of your interested students or advisees to send their application form as soon as possible. Applicants can mail their forms to my attention at the address below, or fax them to 1-651-690-8824.
Additionally, students can submit their applications on-line at our website.
Transcripts and supporting documents can follow, but we must have the application for admission by March 15 for best consideration for a scholarship.
Our largest scholarship is approximately $15,000 per year for female, undergraduate international students in any course of study at St. Catherine's. We also award on-campus jobs as part of our standard financial aid package. If a student works 12 hours a week, she can earn $2,500 for her fees during the year. The remaining expenses could be as low as $16,000 per year if a student is selected to receive one of our highest scholarships. Scholarships are awarded based on academic merit and financial need.
I hope your students and advisees will apply to St. Catherine's! Contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I am happy to assist.
Sincerely,
Aimee
