HOMESCHOOL STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP
Southern Virginia University

Award amount: up to $10,000 yearly
Applications must be submitted by May 31, 2011

Are you interested in attending Southern Virginia University this fall as an incoming freshman?  Did you know that there are two SVU Scholarships especially for incoming freshmen who have homeschooled or have attended a private high school?  These scholarships are available for young men and young women who have demonstrated faith in God and service to mankind.

Applicants must submit an SVU scholarship application (PDF Form) to the SVU Dean of Admissions by May 31 for the Fall/Winter Terms of 2011/2012.  Applicants applying for Spring Term 2012 must submit the application form by October 17, 2011.

Applicants must also provide a list of all religious awards and positions held, community service rendered, and any community awards received.  A written essay must also be included by the applicant, of 200 words or less, describing the applicant's "hero" and why this person is their hero.  A telephone interview will be conducted as part of the selection; a time will be scheduled with the applicant in advance for this interview.

The scholarship is worth much--up to $10,000 per school year.  A GPA of 3.0 at the university must be maintained in order to renew the scholarship each year.

SVU is excited to offer this new scholarship opportunity to homeschooled students.
