The clock is ticking for International Scholarship applicants

February 1, 2020, is the deadline to apply for an International Scholarship. That date may seem months away, but the International Scholarship Committee urges applicants to get started on the process right away. Semester breaks and winter holidays may offer applicants more time to complete the application, but those same holidays can make it difficult to gather the required supporting documents for a timely submission.

Here are some key application facts to bear in mind:

•  Applicants must be enrolled in their degree program at the time of application and must not complete the degree prior to July 30, 2020.

• The application cannot be submitted until the university advisor has completed the program status report.

•  University transcripts and letters of recommendation from a professional reference and the chapter president must come directly to Society Headquarters.

• Application and supporting components must be postmarked or electronically time stamped by the February 1 deadline.

• Applicants who submit too near the deadline have no chance to follow up on any missing components, and incomplete application packets will not be considered, no matter how worthy the applicant.
