2. How are the awards made possible?
All scholarship monies are made possible by private donations, from individuals or organizations, to the APC fund.
TOP3. In what amounts are scholarships awarded? How many are awarded every year?
The monetary value of the scholarship may vary, based on the number of contributions made to the APC fund, from year to year. In general, the following scholarships are awarded:
- APC Tuition Waiver Scholarships cover the entire cost of tuition for the semester in which the student is enrolled. One or two APC Tuition Waiver Scholarships are awarded each semester to qualified applicants.
- APC Fellowship Awards are cash awards in the amount of $500. One to four APC Fellowship Awards are conferred each year.
- APC Tuition/Housing Grants cover the cost of housing and tuition for the school year in which the student is enrolled. One or two APC Tuition/Housing Grants are awarded each year to students in residential programs.
4. How are the recipients chosen? Who chooses them?
A scholarship committee comprised of APC staff chooses recipients of APC scholarships, fellowships, and grants. The following selection criteria are used to choose the recipients:
- APC Tuition Waiver Scholarships are available to all students enrolled in APC. Recipients must be recommended by the undergraduate university they attended. Selection is based on academic merit (transcripts from undergraduate university required), letters of reference, and the applicant’s essay.
- APC Fellowship Awards are available to students and faculty who are engaged in study or research that speaks to APC’s ideals of intercultural leadership skills. Recipients must be recommended by their department(s) or faculty. Selection is based on the nature and demonstrated value of the study.
- APC Tuition/Housing Grants are available to students enrolled in APC residential programs. Recipients must be recommended by the undergraduate university they attended. Selection is based on academic merit (transcripts from undergraduate university required), letters of reference, the applicant’s essay, and financial need.
5. When are the scholarships awarded?
All awards are conferred before the commencement of the semester in which the student is enrolled.
