Applicants planning to enroll as full-time students (9 - 12 credit hours) in the Graduate Counseling program may qualify for $1,000 each semester. Two new awards will be made yearly. This is a competitive scholarship requiring an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.25.
Other schools however, may define full time as 9 credits, as is often the case in graduate school. To qualify for most types of aid, students need to be enrolled for at least 6 credit hours -- usually considered part-time status.
