Awards are restricted to first-year students in a master's degree program at SJSU.  Only members of the faculty who mentor graduate students can forward the name and supporting information of an applicant.  Funds available for disbursement in this scholarship account amount to $1,700.  We will make one or two awards this year.  Applicants will be evaluated on the quality of scholarship that established eligibility for admission to the graduate program, a personal statement by the applicant regarding goals to be achieved by the master's degree, and the mentor's assessment of the applicant's potential success. Additional consideration will be given to applicants with financial needs.  There will be a maximum of one award per department or school.
