Kathryn L. Harris Scholarship in Women's Studies
The "Kathryn
Scholarship" is just for students in the UAH Women’s Studies program!
These scholarship funds can be used for tuition, fees, books, or even
living expenses.
Who is eligible?
Any student enrolled at UAH as a Women’s Studies minor and with a 2.5
out of 4.0 GPA is eligible to apply for the scholarship. Students at any
class rank, any major, male or female, may apply so long as they have formally
declared a minor in Women’s Studies. Selection criteria may include
participation in Women’s Studies activities, such as volunteering in
the Women’s Studies Resource Center, being a member of the Women’s
Studies Student Organization, or participating in community activities that
benefit women and girls. Financial need may also be considered, but is not
a requirement.
How much funding is available?
We expect to award up to $800 in scholarships each year. Successful applicants
may re-apply for up to four years (or eight semesters for a Co-op student).
Because this is an endowed scholarship, the amount available for award
may increase each year, based on the stock market and on additional donations
to the endowment.
How do I apply for the scholarship?
Students apply through the UAH Financial Aid Office (University Center 124,
256/824-6241) and should complete the paperwork by February
1 for awards
in the upcoming academic year. (Note that February 1 is a new deadline for
the Financial Aid Office, changed from the old deadline of February 15.)
How do I become a Women’s Studies minor?
To declare a minor, call the Women’s Studies program office at 256/824-6210
and we will assign you an advisor.
