½ûÂþÌìÌÃ

We love to see ½ûÂþÌìÌà students following in their family member's footsteps. If you're an ½ûÂþÌìÌà alumnus, and you have a family member (child, grandchild, or parent of an alum) currently enrolled in an ½ûÂþÌìÌà program, they are eligible to apply for the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Alumni Family Scholarship.

This Scholarship has been established to support and encourage the next wave of ½ûÂþÌìÌà alumni members while giving back to the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Alumni family. We are pleased to award four scholarships annually to family members of past ½ûÂþÌìÌà graduates.

Four $1,000 ½ûÂþÌìÌà Alumni Family Scholarships will be awarded to current ½ûÂþÌìÌà Students each year.

½ûÂþÌìÌà Alumni provides these Scholarships as a benefit and a gesture of appreciation to our alumni and future alumni.

To be eligible for the Scholarship, applicants must:

• Be the family member¹ of an ½ûÂþÌìÌà Alumni (family members of ½ûÂþÌìÌà staff are not eligible);
• Be enrolled in an ½ûÂþÌìÌà program for the current academic year2, with a focus on their previous term grades;
• Have demonstrated community/volunteer service;
