The time has come for Kean students to fill out scholarship applications for the 2010-2011 academic school year. There are many scholarships awarded each year to students who meet the criteria. Scholarships are awarded for many different reasons. Some scholarships are for students with outstanding grades, some are aimed at specific majors, and there are some awarded to different ethnicities.

Scholarships applications can be found at Keanfoundation.org or on the Kean University website. On the scholarship page, students will also be able to see the 2010-2011 scholarship handbook. The handbook explains the different types of scholarships that are offered. There are different scholarships offered to different students, such as freshman, undergraduate, fall 2010 transfer students, graduate students, and international students studying on a student visa. Scholarship applications are due Monday, March 1, 2010 to the office of scholarship services, located in Townsend Hall room 129. All scholarship applications should be handed in with a hard-copy format.
Kean University wants students to succeed in receiving scholarships to help make their year move more swiftly. There will be a workshop for students who wish to apply for the scholarships. The workshop will teach students what and what not to do when writing a quality scholarship application. John Baur, Professor Emeritus of the English department and chair of the Kean University scholarship committee, will be holding all sessions in Hennings Hall room 113. The sessions will take place on Thursday, January 28, 2010, Tuesday, February 2, 2010, Tuesday, February 16, 2010, and Monday, February 22, 2010, at 3:30p.m. to 4:30p.m. If there are any questions about the application process or the workshops, questions can be answered by Dave Farrokh, the director of scholarship services. Students can call Farrokh at 908-737-3480 or can e-mail him at Dfarrokh@kean.edu.
