Award Process

What is the award process?

• Applications are collected up until the deadline date listed on the website.  
• You will receive notification via email regarding the status of your application. 
• If selected, your notification e-mail will include instructions on completing the necessary paper work to receive the award. 
• Awards from the Spring cycle are posted to the following academic year. (For example, if you apply in Spring 2011 and are awarded, your scholarship will be applied to your Fall 2011 account.)

Please check your student e-mail first before contacting GSU about the status of your scholarship application.

What is the scholarship award amount?

You will notice that in most cases, the number of scholarships awarded and the award amounts for scholarships are not listed. University-wide awards are one-time, and may either be paid in one semester or split between fall and spring semester of the year awarded. Other awards, such as the Presidential, Berner, Rice, Goizueta, and Netzel are four year awards. Please see individual scholarship descriptions for additional details.

When will I be notified of a decision?

Finalists are reviewed by a committee and will be notified e-mail by the stated award date. Please check your student e-mail first before contacting Georgia State about the status of your scholarship application.
