Important Eligibility Considerations

• Students on continuous doctoral status during the academic year that the scholarship or fellowship is offered are eligible regardless of credit load.
• If a scholarship or fellowship recipient changes degree programs and/or or does not maintain the eligibility requirements during the award period, the scholarship and/or fellowship offer(s) may be rescinded and the funds, if disbursed, will be returned to the College of Arts and Sciences.
• If a student is in collections with WSU they are ineligible. Per the WSU Student Financial Services policy any student in collections will not receive any scholarship or fellowship funds.
