TTU Personnel

Updated University Scholarship Applications are now available for students through the scholarship website (www.tntech.edu/scholarships).  Please remind students to apply for scholarships online through ScholarWeb for the upcoming 2005-2006 academic year.  Students may also perform scholarship searches through ScholarWeb to determine what scholarships are available.  All 2005-2006 scholarships should be awarded by the August  deadline. Please remind your students of the following:

• Searches for scholarship criteria are accessible through ScholarWeb
  
• One application is all that is needed to apply for any scholarship across campus
  
• Departmental scholarship pages are accessible through ScholarWeb along with the online scholarship application
  
• The deadline for submission of all scholarship applications (new and current students) is December 15 prior to the academic year in which the student receives the award.

All scholarship applications must be submitted via ScholarWeb (or to the Scholarship Coordinator if printable copies are used) by December 15.  It is important that you direct all students (incoming and currently enrolled) to complete the University Scholarship Application.  Students may be eligible for scholarships in areas outside of their majors, but can only be considered by submitting the University Scholarship Application.

ScholarWeb for Faculty/Staff:
Phase II of ScholarWeb (for faculty/staff) is now available.  With Phase II, you can access important SIS and scholarship application information in a web format.  For your convenience, beginning this year, SIS information (GPA, ACT/SAT scores, addresses, etc.) has been added to the printable applications viewable by committee members.  You can still access the information in spreadsheet format as you did last year as well.

The system can be very helpful once you are accustomed to it.  Please make sure all selection committee members are aware that they also have access to the system.  The idea is to have your committee review the applications online before meeting to selecting recipients.  Additional suggestions for effectively using Phase II are included here.

The updated University Scholarship Application is available annually between August 15 and December 15.   The application will be updated prior to the August 15 start date annually.  All information for your selection process should be available beginning in January 2005.

An orientation session about how to use ScholarWeb Phase II was conducted last November.  If you were unable to attend, are a new committee member, or you just do not remember all that was covered, please review the training document (PDF).  I strongly recommend adding the Phase II website to your "Favorites" listing for quicker and easier access.  To do this, simply access the site and select "Favorites" from your internet menu options.  Give your site a name you will recognize quickly in the favorites list.  Then, in the future when you need to access the program, all you have to do is select the title from your favorites list.

Hard copies of the scholarship applications will not be distributed this year since each committee member has online access to the applications through ScholarWeb Phase II.  If there is a change in committee members, please contact me so I can set up access to ScholarWeb for the new committee member.

The Frequently Asked Questions page has been updated for the new academic year.  Please become familiar with the information provided there and direct students there as necessary.  If you encounter questions frequently that are not addressed by this list, please feel free to contact me and I will try to update the page as quickly as possible.

Please visit this web site from time to time for updates and important information.  Forms useful in the scholarship process will also be included at this site in the near future.

The approved Scholarship Policies and Procedures are now accessible through this web site.
