Scholarships | Langston University
Grants are gift-aid that you may receive from the federal or State governments. This is a great type of financial assistance. Unlike student loans, Grants are not typically something that must be repaid. It is simply money that financially needy students may qualify for to pay educational expenses.

Application fee
The VCU Office of Admissions requires that new first-time freshman applicants submit the Common Application; transfer and returning students must apply online using VCU's electronic application. Students who apply electronically will be able to check their application status online by logging into their VCU VIP page to be sure we have received all required materials (admission decisions are not provided online). The application fee for applying online is $50.
The application fee is nonrefundable and must be paid when submitting the Common Application or VCU's electronic application. Do not submit cash, checks or money orders. Applications may not be processed if submitted without a fee, or the applicant will be billed.
VCU students currently enrolled in a degree program on the Monroe Park Campus may apply to undergraduate health sciences programs on the MCV Campus without submitting an application fee.
Back to top
Transcripts
Freshman applicants are required to submit an up-to-date high school transcript (including senior-year curriculum and grades, if available) and a completed and signed High School Transcript Request form 
Transfer applicants must submit an official transcript from each accredited college or university attended, including summer schools. If less than 30 semester (45 quarter) hours have been completed, applicants also must submit high school transcripts.
Applicants to programs on the MCV Campus must submit official transcripts from each college, university, school and program attended.
All foreign transcripts must be official and submitted in the original language with English translation.
Back to top
Official transcripts must be sent directly by all previously and currently attended schools.
Foreign transcripts
Prospective students who have studied outside of the United States must follow the following instructions. For those seeking initial admission to VCU, a certified, English translated copy of all transcripts and diplomas (or leaving certificates where appropriate) must be presented. As part of the admission fee, VCU will evaluate transcripts with accompanying certified English translations. Some students may choose to use external vendors to provide third-party evaluations (e.g., WES). Prospective students may submit WES or ECE evaluations as a supplement; however, official documentation, as outlined above, will still be required to complete the application.
Prospective transfer students also are welcome to submit WES or ECE evaluations (particularly course by course evaluations), as this may help expedite the awarding of transfer credits, as a supplement to the certified English translation, official transcripts, diplomas or leaving certificates, which are always required. Note that in either case (whether one is seeking transfer credit or not), all official documents (e.g., transcripts, certified English translations, diplomas, leaving certificates) must be submitted to make the application complete.
Back to top
Other external evaluations may be accepted if they are an NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services) approved member. It is important to note, however, that the VCU credential evaluator, the VCU Transfer Center and VCU academic and administrative departments will make the final decisions regarding awarding of transfer credits. Final decisions on transfer credits are not awarded based on external evaluations. Lastly, any external evaluations should be sent, unopened and sealed from the evaluation agency, directly to the admissions office processing the application.
Test scores
Back to top
Freshman applicants younger than 22 years of age must submit official SAT or ACT scores. GED holders must submit their official GED scores. It is recommended that you have your test scores sent to VCU electronically.
Transfer applicants younger than 22 years of age who have earned fewer than 30 semester (45 quarter) hours of college credit must submit SAT or ACT scores. It is recommended that you have your test scores sent to VCU electronically.
All traditional and accelerated undergraduate program applicants to the School of Nursing must submit SAT, ACT or GRE scores for all undergraduate programs. Registered nurses applying for the R.N.-B.S. completion program are not required to submit SAT, ACT or GRE scores. See supplemental nursing requirements online.
Applicants whose native language is one other than English should submit scores for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in addition to any other required test scores.
Eligibility for in-state tuition
All students applying to the university who wish to be considered for in-state tuition rates must complete and submit the Application for in-state tuition form
Eligibility for in-state tuition is governed by Section 23-7.4 of the Code of Virginia. In part, this section of the code states that to qualify for in-state tuition rates, a student must establish by clear and convincing evidence that for a period of at least one year prior to the date of alleged entitlement, he/she or the person through whom he/she claims eligibility was domiciled in Virginia and had abandoned any previous domicile, if such existed. Domicile is defined as the present, fixed home of an individual to which he/she returns following temporary absences and at which he/she intends to stay indefinitely. No individual may have more than one domicile at a time. Domicile, once established, shall not be affected by mere transient or temporary physical presence in another jurisdiction.
For more information about eligibility for Virginia in-state tuition rates, visit the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia at www.schev.edu/students/vadomicileinfo.asp.
Why we ask for your Social Security number
While VCU does not require your Social Security number for admission consideration, it is necessary for applicants who wish to be considered for financial aid and Hope Scholarship/Lifetime Learning tax credit to provide a Social Security number to the university. To protect your privacy, your Social Security number will not be used as your VCU student identification number.

McNair scholars program seeking new participants
By Jon Tveite
The McNair scholars program is currently looking for K-State students who are interested in graduate study and eligible to participate.
To be eligible, you must either be a first-generation college student and low-income by federal standards, or a member of a group that is underrepresented in higher education - such as Latino/Hispanic, African American, Native American, Native Alaskan or Native Pacific Islander. You must also be a U.S. citizen or legal resident with at least 30 hours of college credit. A 3.0 GPA or higher is preferred.
Successful applicants will have the opportunity to participate in a paid summer research internship in their academic fields, with the supervision of a K-State faculty member. Participants also receive help preparing for the GRE, identifying graduate programs, completing applications, finding funds to pay for graduate school and building the skills needed for success in graduate study. The overall objective of the Ronald E. McNair postbaccalaureate achievement program is to guide eligible students through the process of applying to graduate school, while preparing them to succeed at attaining doctoral degrees.
Eligible students who intend to pursue graduate study are encouraged to apply. Faculty and staff who know of good candidates should refer them to the program or contact the McNair office. Applications will be reviewed beginning on Sept. 16, but the recruitment process will continue until all available slots are filled. For more information see the program website.

Funding | Graduate | Prospective Students | College of Engineering
The Zachry Department of Civil Engineering has numerous opportunities for its graduate students to obtain financial assistance through Assistantships and Fellowships. Unless the applicant has specified in the application that he or she will have external funding, either by a governmental agency or by industry, the Departmental Graduate Advisor assumes each applicant is in need of financial assistance.
Assistantships, Fellowships and Graduate Scholarships
All selections for financial assistance are competitively based but may also be based on the needs of the department and faculty researchers. Students holding assistantships qualify for Texas A&M employee benefits and graduate students holding either a teaching or research assistantship, or a fellowship of $1000 per year qualify for in-state tuition. Additional fellowships are available through the Office of Graduate Studies.
Texas A&M University offers two types of assistantships: teaching (GAT) or research (GAR). These assistantships normally provide a stipend of $1200 to $1400/month, depending on a student's degree status, and also pay the student's tuition and health benefit costs. Fees are not covered by these assistantships.
The department has numerous graduate fellowships from both endowed and departmental funds. For the 2013-2014 school year, over $300,000 is available to our graduate students as fellowships. For students who are not Texas residents, receiving a fellowship of $1000 or more provides them with the additional benefit of reducing their tuition rate to the in-state rate (basically reducing the rate by two-thirds).
Decisions on who to employ as research and teaching assistants, and to whom fellowship funds should be given are made by the faculty. Applicants and students should contact the graduate student advisor in their area of study to indicate their interest in being considered for any of these sources of funding.
All students holding an assistantship must be registered for a minimum of nine credit hours during the fall and spring semester and six credit hours during the summer semester. This is a University requirement and cannot be waived.
The department also regularly nominates entering students for University fellowships, such as the Association of Former Students Graduate Merit Fellowship. Students interested in these fellowships should contact the graduate student advisor in their area of study. The deadlines for these fellowships should be noted - please make sure your application is submitted by December for consideration. Applicants should also note that these fellowships are given only to students entering in the fall term.
Application Deadlines
To be eligible for all teaching assistantships, research assistantships and fellowships, including merit and diversity fellowships, you must apply by January 1st for admission the following Fall semester. Applications for the fall semester not seeking financial aid will continue to be accepted until March 15th . To be considered for all teaching assistantships, research assistantships and fellowships you must apply by June 1st for admission the following Spring semester.
All documents have to be received by the deadlines listed above. Documents include official transcripts and records, official test scores from GRE and TOEFL, three letters of recommendation, statement of purpose and your resume or curriculum vitae (optional). If the application fees are not paid your application will not be processed and will not be sent forward for a decision.
International students must meet the International Student Service deadlines for the documents which are require for the processing of their I-20. Failure to meet those deadlines may result in not receiving the I-20 in time for entrance into Texas A&M University.
Water Scholars Program
Note for master's students with water-related research interests: The WATer Engineering Research (WATER) Scholars program provides scholarships to engineering graduate students pursuing a master's degree and who have an interest in water-related research. Scholarships are awarded in civil engineering (emphases in environmental engineering, water resources engineering, coastal engineering).
How much will it cost?
The cost of attendance (COA) is an estimate of what it costs the typical student to attend Texas A&M University. Don't be startled by the sticker price of a college education. Your cost of attendance (COA) doesn't just cover your college tuition; it takes into account your basic living expenses. When comparing financial aid packages from other schools, make sure you are comparing the total cost of attending that school, not just the total financial aid awarded. It is important for you to budget and make wise decisions regarding how to utilize the financial aid funds you receive.
