Scholarship Award
Announcement
The Emeriti Association of the University of Hartford announces that an award which commenced in 2006-07 has been renewed, and increased. Two awards of $500 each are now endowed by the membership of the Emeriti Association, which consists primarily of retired University of Hartford faculty. The 2011 awards will be announced in the spring 2010 semester, for academic year 2011. The awards will be given annually to University of Hartford undergraduate students based on the following criteria:
a) The student is selected based on scholarly achievement and commitment to extra-curricular activities at the University or in the community at large. The applicant must be an undergraduate in any of the colleges at the University of Hartford for at least one semester. A student’s Grade Point Average of at least 3.25 is the minimum expected for consideration by the selection committee.
b) Applicants should be entering their sophomore, junior, or senior year as a full-time student in the Fall 2010 semester. A successful applicant may seek renewal of the prize for one or more years, provided all the criteria for eligibility, stated above, are satisfied. Every effort will be made to rotate the award among the various colleges of the University of Hartford on an annual basis.
The awards are being promoted through the Office of Student Services in each of the colleges of the University. The awards for the 2011 academic year will be announced in May 2010 once all applications have been submitted, and the selection committee’s decision has been ratified by the full membership at its spring meeting.
To apply for an award, students must
submit an application
to Walter Banzhaf, the Executive Secretary of the Emeriti Association,
outlining their qualifications for consideration.
There is no application form; to apply, students should submit:
· a letter of application
· a resume

A committee of emeriti faculty members, appointed by the chairman of the Emeriti Association, shall evaluate all applications and recommend two students to the Emeriti Association for the awards. The committee represents a diversity of faculty disciplines. The Emeriti Association shall ratify the selection at its annual spring meeting.
