Spring 2011 UWRA Scholarship in Aging

The University of Washington Retirement Association (UWRA) announces the
availability of one to three Spring 2011 scholarships of up to $3,000 each
for undergraduate or graduate UW students studying toward careers that focus
on aging-related research or provision of services to older adults.

To be eligible applicants must have established financial need. Financial
need is determined from information filed on the 2010-2011 FAFSA with
Student Financial Aid. (For this purpose applicants who are international
students should also complete a 2010-2011 FAFSA.)

Deadline: Monday, February 7, 2011.

Scroll down to the link to the application form. Complete and save for
submission as one Word document, including other documentation required.

All applicants are notified by mail about their status approximately six
weeks after the deadline. We do not provide application status information
by phone.

Awards are credited to student accounts in Spring 2011. Winners are expected
to attend a recognition luncheon, scheduled for April 28, 2011, as guests of
the UWRA.
