Undergraduate African Women Scholarships in College of Literature

African Women Scholarships to current undergraduates in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) are funded by gifts to the College of LSA. These gifts include donations to the LSA Annual Fund for Student Support, scholarship endowments, bequests and annual gifts from donors. Each year nearly 500 students receive a College of Literature, Science, and the Arts Undergraduate Scholarship, funded from one or more of our scholarship accounts. The LSA Undergraduate African Women Scholarships monetary award is determined based on your scholarship application and information in your financial aid package from the University of Michigan, Office of Financial Aid. The LSA African Women Scholarships Office has access to each applicant’s financial aid package to establish eligibility and the scholarship amount. Please note that these scholarships are not awarded or administered by the Office of Financial Aid. Monetary awards have ranged from $500 to $5,000 for the fall and winter terms. An award in one year does not guarantee that the LSA Current Student African Women Scholarships will be awarded in subsequent years.

Eligibility: African Women Scholarships Applicants must be continuing students (completed two academic terms in LSA) pursuing a degree program in LSA and enrolled for at least 12 credit hours during the fall and winter 2011-2012 academic year.
