Alumni Scholarship Guidelines

Students who will be enrolled as entering freshmen, sophomores and transfer students at Eastern Michigan University in the fall semester may apply. Demonstration of financial need is not required. The award granted per recipient is $1,000 per academic year and may be renewed for four consecutive years for a maximum award of $4,000 if the renewal criteria outlined below are met.
