MISSOULA ―

Applications are now open for The University of Montana's Alumni Association Scholarship, which is available to any UM student who has a parent or grandparent who attended the University.

Applicants must have attained junior status before the beginning of fall semester 2010, and be a full-time student for the fall 2010 and spring 2011 semesters. Graduate students who received baccalaureate degrees from UM also are eligible for the scholarship.
Completed applications are due to the Office of Alumni Relations by 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19.

The amount of the scholarship varies each year. Last year’s recipient was awarded $4,000, and the Alumni Association’s board of directors will determine the amount of this year’s award at its January meeting. Winners will receive the scholarship funds in two equal installments during the 2010-11 academic year. 

The application requires verification of eligibility, and applicants must answer a single essay question: What has been your most rewarding campus or community contribution while at The University of Montana? Supporting documentation required includes a current resume and transcript. The application can be completed online or downloaded from the association’s Web site at http://www.grizalum.org.

For more information about the scholarship, call Susan Cuff at 406-243-5211 or e-mail susan.cuff@umontana.edu.
