Scholarship Applications
Dear Phi Theta Kappans,
Applications for the All-USA/Coca Cola Scholarship and the Guistwhite Scholarship will be available beginning Thursday, October 8th at the front desk of the LRC on both campuses. You can also stop by the office of Honors Director Erik Ozolins (MVC - Room 608) or my office (SJC-Room 1503) to receive a copy of the applications.
Please note that the deadline for the All-USA/Coca Cola Scholarship is Thursday, November 12th by 5 p.m. Applications must be submitted to Erik, myself, or to the front desk of the LRC before the deadline. All students who meet the eligibility requirements are welcome to apply. One of the requirements is a 3.5 GPA. From all the applications submitted, a committee of faculty and counselors will select two students from each campus to nominate and their applications will be sent to the All-USA/Coca-Cola scholarship foundation for further consideration.
The Guistwhite Scholarship is due Tuesday, December 1st. Unlike the All-USA/Coca-Cola Scholarship, applications will not be reviewed at MSJC. Applications must be mailed by the student to Phi Theta Kappa headquarters by the due date. This scholarship is open only to Phi Theta Kappa members and requires a 3.5 GPA.
We hope you will consider applying. Recipients of the All-USA Scholarship can win up to $2500 and media recognition in USA Today while Guistwhite award winners receive up to $5000. These applications are quite extensive so please get started early.
Good luck and let Erik Ozolins, PTK Faculty Advisor Nick Reeves, or I know if you have any questions.
