Marywood University Fall 2009 Graduate Financial Resources Newsletter The Graduate Financial Resources Newsletter provides both current and prospective graduate students of Marywood University with information on Marywood University scholarships, assistantships, and loan programs. Scholarships for Graduate Students Seeking Master's Degrees, Educational Specialist Degrees, or Certifications (Not School of Social Work Students, Speech-Language Pathology Students, and Physician Assistant Students) Marywood University awards a number of scholarships each year to graduate students on the basis of academic promise, and professional focus and commitment. Scholarships are available to both full-time and part-time students. Full-time status scholarship recipients must take nine credits or more per semester to maintain their scholarship. Part-time status scholarship recipients must take at least six credits each semester, both Fall and Spring, to receive scholarship funds. The application deadline for these scholarships is February 14, 2009.

Marywood University On-site Dietetic Internship Program Scholarships The Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at Marywood University is pleased to be able to provide $6000 merit scholarships to on-site dietetic interns who have maintained a 3.35 cumulative undergraduate grade point average and have completed a didactic program approved or accredited by the ADA Commission on Accreditation for Dietetic Education. This merit scholarship is available for your dietetic internship (DI). We encourage you to apply for scholarships and assistantships in subsequent academic years at Marywood University to help fund additional coursework leading to a master's degree beyond the DI. Approximately ten students are selected for the on-site DI at Marywood University each year. Admission to the program is competitive and is a prerequisite to scholarship consideration. All students are selected for admission through the computer matching process. It would be in the interest of prospective students who meet these academic criteria to assign Marywood University as a top preference in the computer matching process if you wish to obtain one of these scholarships. Substantive merit scholarships are available to talented students who have less than a 3.35 cumulative undergraduate grade point average who are admitted to the DI on a competitive basis. Please complete the 2009-2010 Graduate Scholarship Application for Master's Degree, Education Special Degree, and Post-Baccalaureate Certification Students and the required essay electronically by February 14, 2009.
