DeVeaux Scholarships at Niagara University

 

Recommendations for a DeVeaux Scholarship at Niagara University is open to all present Niagara University students and high school seniors who meet the following requirements:

The scholarships are restricted to full time students at any undergraduate level at Niagara University and to high school seniors who are considering entrance to Niagara University for the fall of 2013. Students must be residents of the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York and have their clergy or church warden submit a short letter of recommendation to the DeVeaux Commission.

Any interested high school senior should have a recommendation sent to this Commission even if they have not finalized Niagara as their university choice. They can always decline a grant if they choose to attend a different university.

Scholarships to be awarded in the academic year 2013-2014 are:

• Three three-thousand dollar ($3000) tuition scholarships.
• Judge DeVeaux Endowed Tuition Scholarships. The number and amount of these grants depend on the number of applicants and the interest available in the fund.

 Clergy letters of recommendation should contain the following:

•  Student's name, address, and phone number.
• Present high school/present year at Niagara University ( Freshman, Sophomore etc.).
• Attributes that make the student a worthy candidate for the award.
• Contributions the student has made to their school, church, community.
• Parent's name, address, and phone number.

Letters should be e-mailed to lgondree@hotmail.com or mailed to the DeVeaux Commission at 1088 Delaware Avenue 1E, Buffalo 14209. If you use the USPS to send your recommendation please advise me by e-mail or a telephone message (716-885-4169) that I should be expecting a recommendation.
 
The deadline for all recommendations is January 15, 2013. When all procedures are completed awards will be granted by this commission through Niagara's Financial Aid Department and Admissions Office.
