General information

• This award is applied toward the non-resident portion of a student’s tuition and fees. Awards ranging from half to full coverage of the non-resident fees will be awarded based on a student's qualifications and available funding.
• The Bloch School nominates eligible students for these awards in the order applications are received, without the need for the student to request a nomination.
• Nomination does not guarantee an award will be made, as funding is limited each year and students may only receive a partial award.
• If selected for an award, notification will come from either the UMKC Financial Aid & Scholarships Office or UMKC's International Student Affairs Office (ISAO).
• Once granted, the award is renewable provided the student continues to qualify.
• Grade point average at the time of application is used to determine eligibility for award.
• Effective with fall 2012 admits.
