Subject: Deadline Extended to July 17 for Joseph M. Mitchell Memorial
Scholarship Award

Description:
We are currently accepting applications and nominations for the Joseph M.
Mitchell Memorial Scholarship Award. Applications and nominations for the
Fall 2016 semester award are now due July 17, 2016. All University Graduate
and Undergraduate students are encouraged to apply. Faculty, staff, and
members of the campus community are welcome to nominate deserving students of
this award.

The scholarship award was established in recognition of Joe Mitchell's
compassion for the less fortunate members of our society and in honor of his
ability to befriend, guide and mentor individuals whose ability to succeed as
students at our institution was challenged by some personal or family
circumstance.

Award changes beginning Fall 2016
We will no longer offer a spring semester application process. Instead,
scholarships will be awarded for the fall semester to one or more deserving
students.  These are one-time awards of up to $2,000, dispersed evenly over
the fall and spring semesters.
