Education and Human Ecology Scholarships

scholarship

We know what a scholarship, fellowship, or grant can mean for students who are counting every penny.  In fact, many EHE donors, administrators, and faculty members have memories of getting financial aid just when they needed it most.  With this in mind, the College of Education and Human Ecology (EHE) awards more than $1.5 million in scholarships annually to EHE students.

 

In the past, students have said that they did not apply for EHE Scholarships because they thought their GPA and test scores were not high enough. In EHE, we regard merit as a holistic concept that takes into account more than just GPA and test scores. Therefore, we encourage all current and prospective EHE students to apply. We have many unique scholarships for which you may qualify, and with a single application, you will be eligible for up to 300 different funding opportunities.


 EHE Scholarship applications are live NOW: http://ehe.osu.edu/scholarships/apply-now/

For the 2017-2018 academic year only (this covers SU17, AU17, & SP18)

 

The deadlines to apply for EHE Scholarships are:

  • Jan. 16, 2017 – Deadline for current graduate and undergraduate students and future graduate students at main and regional campuses.
  • Feb. 13, 2017 – Deadline for future undergraduate students at main and regional campuses.
  • April 3, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. for priority awarding for incoming undergraduate transfer students and May 1, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. is the final deadline for any possible consideration.

Students must complete a 2017-2018 EHE Scholarship application to be eligible for scholarships for next year.

In addition to the 2017-2018 general EHE Scholarship applications, the EHE Scholarships webpage also has applications and information for students seeking professional development/travel awards and other unique scholarships.

 

As a current or prospective EHE student, we hope you will take advantage of these resources. Please take a few minutes to visit us at http://ehe.osu.edu/scholarships/.

EHE Office of Research-Dissertation Research Fellowship Applications!

Once again the EHE Office of Research will oversee the Dissertation Research Fellowship program for the 2017-2018 academic year. We wanted to get the process started early in the semester, so that applicants have sufficient time to assemble their packets.

 

At this time, Educational Studies will plan on nominating two (2) candidates for one (1) dissertation year fellowship.

 

The EHE Office of Research website already has posted the application guidelines for the Fellowship.  They can be found at http://go.osu.edu/EHEfellowship.

 

Applicants will need to provide a cover letter, up to a 6-page application, letters of support from their dissertation advisor and two other faculty members, a CV, and a Graduate School advising report.  The award includes a stipend as well as tuition for dissertation credit hours for Fall and Spring of 2017-2018.  The advisor should comment on other sources of funding that might be necessary to complete the dissertation.  The evaluation of the proposal by the advisor and the two other faculty members should focus on the demonstrated scholarship and future potential for scholarly excellence.  Evidence of previous research productivity is an important consideration.  Note that these awards can be held simultaneously with other external fellowships (e.g., Spencer dissertation fellowship) and are intended to support your top doctoral candidates.

 

The deadline for students to submit their packet to Deb Zabloudil is January 20, 2017.  These should then be forwarded to the appropriate Graduate Studies chair.  Please submit the documents electronically to Zabloudil.1@osu.edu. When you view the web site, it will tell you to submit your documents to Dr. Anderman’s office. Please don’t do that. Submit them to me instead so I can take them directly to the Graduate Studies Committee for review.

 

Although students need not be candidates at the time of application, they must be candidates by the end of Summer Session 2017 to be eligible to receive the award.  Students who have previously received the Dissertation Fellowship award are not eligible for consideration of continued support.
