• Each scholarship awarded is approximately $500 - $1,000 for the academic semester, and the number of scholarships awarded varies each year based on available funding.
• Preference may be given to students with lesser scholarship awards based on availability of funds and applicant needs.
• Awards will be managed by the SUU Financial Aid Office and may not exceed tuition and fees.

If a scholarship recipient leaves SUU for any reason during the year the SUU Staff Association Board may, at its sole discretion, award the remaining funds to another student.
