C.W. Post Introduces 18 New Scholarships for New Freshman
and Transfer Students
The C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University in Brookville is offering
18 new undergraduate scholarships in 9 academic areas including Accounting,
Information Transfer, Medical Biology, Pre-Law, Business (finance, management
and marketing), Chemistry, Dance, Electronic Journalism, and Health Information
Management.
While the scholarships are open to students from across the country,
the academic areas were chosen for their potential to meet the future needs
of Long Island's economy. "Since America looks to universities to
prepare the future workforce, we are acknowledging our obligation to educate
and provide the Long Island community with skilled personnel in these vital
areas," said Gary R. Bergman, Associate Provost for Enrollment Services.
New incoming freshman and college transfer students are welcome to apply.
The deadline for applications is April 30 (April 24 for the Dance program).
New freshman who apply are required to have a SAT composite of at least
1000; transfer students must have a B average, (3.0 out of a 4.0 grade
point average) in all previous school work. A student's extracurricular
activities, leadership achievements and academic awards will also be considered.
The scholarships are renewable for four years for a maximum total of
$8000; a 3.0 or higher grade point average must be maintained each semester
to meet eligibility requirements. The scholarships take effect in the fall
1998 semester, which begins in September.
