Advanced Academic Programs Scholarship Assistance Program
The Scholarship Assistance Program provides tuition assistance to selected students on a competitive basis within the Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) of the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of need and merit as determined by each academic program.
Alumni donations and tuition revenue fund the scholarships, which are awarded in the form of tuition grants. Awards are announced by July 31 and must be used toward classes taken in Fall 2009, Spring 2010, or Summer 2010. Past awards have ranged from $500 to $5,000.
Who Can Apply
Only active students in good standing may apply. Students must have completed at least one class in their program of study by May 8, 2009, to be eligible for this scholarship.
Since financial aid cannot verify financial need for international students, they are not eligible for this scholarship.
Students can apply for this scholarship every year it is available, but they must fill out a new form each year and compete with the current pool for the award.
How to Apply
All students must submit three documents to apply. In addition, specific programs may have additional requirements. All forms must be received by May 8, 2009, to be considered.
- 1) The first form is the 2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form will be available January 1, 2009. It is an online form and is available at: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
**Please note: The scholarship committee is borrowing the Federal Application for Financial Aid to determine financial need. This is the same form used for students who want federal loans. This form stipulates that you must take two classes, request loans, and have your paperwork in by a specific date. These stipulations do NOT apply to students who accept the scholarship and decline the loans. The financial aid office will send a confirmation and EFC once they have received your form. Please make sure to save this for your records. If you are already filling out the FAFSA for loans for 2009 you do not need to submit this form again.
- The second form is a Hopkins specific financial-aid form. It should be filled out and submitted online. Select the “Aid Application – Part Time Program (AAP and EPP).” It is available at: http://www.jhu.edu/finaid/elecserv/.
- The third form is AAP Scholarship interest form. This form should be submitted electronically online.
- In addition, each department may have other requirements. Please see program specific application information below.
