Hamblin Scholarship
The Hamblin Scholarship was established as a memorial to Adolph P. Hamblin, Professor of Biology. The recipient must be majoring in the natural sciences, have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5, demonstrate financial need, and be recommended by the Biology Department. Award based on available funds. Selection of an awardee is done according to the “guidelines for student awards within the WVSU Biology Department”. Selection of the award is advertised.
At its meeting of August 18, 2010, Faculty agreed to award to all eligible students the same amount; “up to $1,000”. This will defray costs of fees, books, etc. that graduate students must pay out of pocket (i.e. not covered by the tuition waiver). It is expected that all eligible students will apply, and that an equal award will be made to all. Unused award money will be plowed back into the principal. Awarded each semester.
College of NSM: WVSU Faculty Endowed Scholarship
The WVSU Faculty Endowed Scholarship is awardable each academic year. Students must apply, but each candidate must also be nominated by a Faculty member. The candidate must have earned at least 30 credit hours by January 1 of the year in which the award is to be made. The candidate must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher. The candidate must be registered as a full-time student (12 credit hours or more) and must maintain full-time status during the academic year in which the award is given. Financial need may be a consideration. The award is renewable. The preference is that, over a three-year period, at least one recipient in each college will be a qualified minority student. Nominations and applications are due May 1. Immediately thereafter, the College chooses its nominee(s) and the Dean notifies the Chair of the Faculty Scholarship Committee. Awardees are notified in the summer, and the award is presented at the first general Faculty meeting of the academic year.
