Beginning Friday, June 24, the University Staff Senate will begin accepting applications for its fall scholarship.
The deadline for receipt of the entire typed application packet:
4:30 p.m.
Sunday, July 10
The University Staff Senate has established a fund to provide scholarship awards to qualifying SIUE students. To be eligible for consideration for a scholarship award, you must meet the following criteria:
- You must be the son, daughter, grandchild, spouse or civil union partner of a presently employed or retired civil service (excluding non-status) or professional staff employee (excluding appointments of less than 50 percent and term appointments of less than six months) of SIUE.
- You must meet admissions requirements for undergraduate study at SIUE.
The scholarship award will be applied to your University account for the semester. This award will be reported to the Office of Student Financial Aid to be considered in evaluating your overall financial aid package. Should this amount, combined with other awards or payments, cause a credit balance on your account, a refund check will be mailed to you from the Bursar's Office.
SIUE makes it easy to apply for scholarships quickly online. Through the SIUE scholarship management system, all students can browse and apply for more than 450 scholarships available in the various schools, departments and units at SIUE. This system also offers information on various external or outside scholarships available as well.
To browse all scholarship opportunities and awards, visit siue.academicworks.com
To begin a scholarship application, follow these steps:
1. Login at siue.academicworks.com and sign in with your e-ID and password. You must have already been accepted to SIUE and received your e-ID and password.
2. Fill out the general scholarship application. The system will search for scholarships and awards you may be eligible for. For some, you will automatically be entered into the applicant pool and others may require you to answer additional questions.
3. Continue to check the system regularly as new scholarships become available at different times, also be sure to browse our “external” scholarship list that provides information and direct links to outside scholarship websites.
If you meet the eligibility criteria above, the software will direct you to the Staff Senate Summer Scholarship page. Please, complete by 4:30 p.m. Sunday, July 10. You are responsible for contacting the University Governance Office to ensure your application packet is complete.
