Summer 2008 Continuation Scholarship

Full-time Undergraduate Students
If you received an IIT undergraduate tuition scholarship (such as Heald, Camras, Presidents, etc.) in the 2007-2008 academic year, you will be entitled to the same level of scholarship support over Summer 2008.The Summer Continuation Scholarship is applicable towards undergraduate courses applicable to their undergraduate degree. The practice of accepting petitions for summer tuition scholarships on a case-by-case basis has been discontinued. Examples calculating the Summer Continuation Scholarship for students in several different situations are given below.

Example A
Financial Aid Award

Award Received Fall 2007

Award Received Spring 2008 Applicable to Summer Scholarship Calculation
MAP $2,235.50 $2,235.50 0
Presidents' Scholarship $2,368 $2,368 $4,736
Athletic Scholarship $2,000 $2,000 $4,000
Perkins $1,000 $1,000 0
Subsidized Loan $2,500 $2,500 0
Monash Loan $2,500 $2,500 0

Student A would receive a Summer Continuation Scholarship covering 8,736/24,962 or 35% of the 2008 summer tuition charge for courses applicable to his/her undergraduate degree. So, for example, if Student A took one 3 credit hour course in the summer at $778/credit hour, the tuition charge would be $2,334.00; the scholarship would cover (0.35)(2334) = $816.90 of the tuition charge.

Example B
Financial Aid Award Award Received Fall 2007 Award Received Spring 2008 Applicable to Summer Scholarship Calculation
Camras Scholarship $12,481 $12,481 $24,962
Room and Board $2,300 $2,300 0
Alumni Scholarship $500 $500 $1,000

Student B would receive a Summer Continuation Scholarship covering 24,962/24,962 or 100% of the 2008 summer tuition charge for courses applicable to his/her undergraduate degree. Note that room and board scholarships are not considered in the calculation. Also note that there is a maximum benefit of 100% of tuition.

Example C
Financial Aid Award Award Received Fall 2007 Award Received Spring 2008 Applicable to Summer Scholarship Calculation
International Scholarship $3,495 $3,495 $6,990

Student C would receive a Summer Continuation Scholarship covering 6,990/24,962 or about 28% of the 2008 summer tuition charge for courses applicable to his/her undergraduate degree. Note that the room and board portion of a scholarship is not considered in the calculation.

Example D

Student D would receive a Summer Continuation Scholarship covering 5,000/12,481 or about 40% of the 2008 summer tuition charge for courses applicable to his/her undergraduate degree.
