Additional Description

Abstract

Eastern Michigan University awards millions of dollars in academic scholarships each year. Scholarships are offered to incoming first year students, transfer students, graduate students, as well as students from organizations and agencies outside the University. The Scholarship records range from the years 1936 to 2006 and include correspondence, proposals, clippings, pamphlets, certificates, and scholarship opportunities. The collection has representative documentation of endowed scholarship funds but does not have documentation of every endowed scholarship; documents the activities of the Office of Academic Affairs and Financial Aid; and overall documents the act of awarding students for their academic achievements through academic scholarships.
