I'm an international student looking at Marshall University and heard about their progression scholarships. Can anyone explain how these work and what the application process is like? Any advice or personal experiences would be really helpful!
Sure, I'll shed some light on the progression scholarships at Marshall University! These scholarships are a form of merit-based aid designed for international students who sustain high academic performance throughout their tenure at the university.
To be eligible for the scholarships, a few criteria need to be met:
1. You must be a full-time undergraduate.
2. You should have completed at least two semesters at Marshall University.
3. You need to maintain a certain GPA.
While these scholarships don't require a separate application, you do need to maintain a high level of academic achievement. The university will assess your eligibility based on the GPA you maintain.
As far as maintaining the scholarship, all recipients must enroll full-time each semester, and must also participate in the Friends of International Students (FIS) program.
If you have any more specific questions or need further clarification, it might be beneficial to reach out to the Office of Student Financial Assistance at Marshall University to get the most accurate and updated information. And remember, this is just one form of financial assistance available, so also consider other scholarships, grants, and work-study opportunities.
