The Graduate School Exam Scholarship is designed to assist USAO students looking to further their education by
covering the cost of a graduate school exam. It is recommended to consult with your advisor to ensure fund and
date availability and give the committee ample time to process the application. This is also designed to give the
applicant adequate time to prepare for success.
Program Guidelines & Priorities:
* Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.2.
* Applicants must provide preferred exam date when applying.
* Funds will be held by the chair of the selection committee. If selected, you will work with the chairperson to schedule
your exam.
* Funds will be awarded as they are available. The scholarship is funded on an annual basis, therefore fund
availability will differ year to year.
*All students are encouraged to apply. However, those exhibiting financial need will have funding priority.
