Named Scholarships Policy 

Definition and Purpose of Named Scholarships

  1. Named Scholarship is a form of externally-funded support awarded to any first-year or returning AUBG students, conditional on a submitted application to the Scholarship Committee.
  2. Named Scholarships are intended to honor specific qualifications and characteristics identified by the donor within the donor’s wishes to AUBG.
  3. Students receiving other forms of financial support offered by AUBG are eligible and can apply for Named Scholarships as well.

Notice of Availability

  1. A full list of all Named Scholarships will be published on the AUBG website on the Monday two weeks prior to the start of each Spring and Fall break.  Applicants may submit applications no later than the first day of classes after the applicable Spring or Fall break around which the scholarships were announced.
  2. The criteria and application deadlines for each scholarship will be listed with each notice of availability.

Eligibility

  1. Unless otherwise specified, students must be full-time and reasonably expected to be continuing their studies at AUBG for the duration of the applicable scholarship period.
  2. Students who already have full tuition support from another scholarship source are not eligible for Named Scholarships.
  3. Students must be in good standing, academically and socially.
  4. Unless otherwise specified in the scholarship announcement, students can not apply if they are in their final semester of study during the scholarship application process.
  5. If a Named Scholarship does not have GPA requirements, then First-year students are eligible to apply as soon as they are admitted and confirmed.
  6. First-year students are eligible to apply for any Named Scholarships in their second semester of study, based on the GPA from their first semester.

Application and Selection Process

  1. A student may apply for any number of Named Scholarships
  2. All applications are due by the date, specified in the announcement (usually the last day of the Spring or Fall break).
  3. Named Scholarships have fixed durations (usually one academic year).
  4. The amount of the awarded scholarship will be applied to the recipient’s tuition fee for the next two upcoming semesters. In the event that the recipient has only one semester left prior to graduation at the time of scholarship application, the whole annual amount of the scholarship will be applied as a credit to his/her last semester bill, up to the amount of the net tuition due by the student to AUBG.

Administration of Named Scholarships

  1. Awards are not final until the selected recipient signs the award letter agreeing to the terms and conditions of the scholarship, and writes and delivers a signed donor letter of appreciation at the Development Office.
  2. Unless otherwise specified in the announcement, all scholarships will be applied to the students’ tuition obligation, up to the amount of net tuition due. For the avoidance of doubt, if the amount of a scholarship award is larger than the tuition amount owed by the recipient, AUBG will not disburse cash or carry forward a future obligation to the scholarship recipient, and the remaining balance of the scholarship, if any, shall return to the scholarship pool.
  3. Wherever practicable, the Scholarship Committee should avoid awarding more than one Named Scholarship simultaneously to any individual student. In cases in which a student is deemed to be the best-qualified applicant for more than one Named Scholarship, the Scholarship Committee should award to that student the most generous Named Scholarship, and award the less generous Named Scholarship to some alternative applicant.
  4. An exception to the guidance above may occur if a single applicant is the only qualified applicant for one Named Scholarship, and simultaneously the best-qualified applicant for a more generous Named Scholarship. In such a case, it is permissible for the same student to claim both Named Scholarships.
  5. AUBG has the right to revoke scholarships if the applicable required GPA is not maintained, or if any of the information provided by the applicant on the application is determined to be false or intentionally misleading.
