Duquesne University's A.J. Palumbo School
of Business Administration is delighted to announce
the Charles and Lucille Gebhardt Scholarship
Award. Multiple scholarships will be awarded
to qualified
students from the A.J. Palumbo School of Business
Administration. Current freshmen, sophomores,
and juniors with a QPA of 3.50 or higher are
eligible to apply.
A Scholarship
Selection Committee comprised of Business School
faculty and/or administrators and alumni will
review the applications.
The annual awards are effective for the Fall
semester of the next academic year. Factors considered
in the selection process include: academic achievement
with a QPA of 3.50 or higher at the beginning of the spring semester; University and community
service; employment history; financial need and
a personal statement related to your current
situation and career goals. Applicants who do
not demonstrate financial need will be considered
on the basis of merit.
The following are instructions
for application:
Applicants are expected
to complete the official Gebhardt Scholarship
application form, including a one-page word-processed
essay. Applications are available in the Advisement
Office of the A.J. Palumbo School of Business
Administration in 705 Rockwell Hall and online
(see below).
Completed
applications must be submitted to the Advisement
Office by 12:00 PM on Monday, March 16,
2009. We strongly
recommend that you submit your application
as soon as possible. Your early submission
allows sufficient time to resolve any administrative
problems or questions.
A personal interview of
selected finalists will be conducted by members
of the Scholarship Selection Committee and
will be an important factor considered in the
award process.
Applicants must demonstrate financial need as determined by the submission of a Financial Aid form from the Financial Aid Office.
Applicants unable to demonstrate financial need as defined by the Financial Aid Office will be considered for scholarship assistance based on merit, and therefore meritorious achievements should be emphasized in the essay.
If you have any questions,
please contact Dr. Thomas A. Pollack, Associate
Dean, at (412) 396-1639, or Mrs. Mary Lou Grasser,
Dr. Pollack's Assistant, at (412) 396-5701.
The awards will be announced by the end of
the spring semester.
