Initial distribution of scholarship funds is not entirely within the control of the CED.  While we make every effort that we can, funds may not be distributed in time to meet the Fall tuition deadline.  Please keep this in mind as you plan your finances.  Funds will be distributed as soon as possible and will certainly be in your student account no later than September 1. 

Do I have to be enrolled in CED coursework during the semester I want to receive funds? 

Read More ▼

Yes.  But more specifically, scholarship funds can only be received in a semester in which you are enrolled in CED Degree-Required coursework.  Coursework that does not fulfill this requirement includes any coursework not required for your CED degree (such as minors, certificates, double-majors, etc.).  Additionally, Thesis/Research and Independent Study courses do not count.
