US Army ROTC Scholarships
There are significant scholarship opportunities for military science stu-
dents. Scholarships pay up for full tuition, $525 for books, and $3,000
for spending money each year. These scholarships are merit based and
not affected by a parent's total income. Freshmen and sophomores can
apply for three- and two-year campus-based full scholarships in January.
Historically, 85 percent of Edinboro University students who apply are
scholarship winners. The Department of Military Science on an annual
basis provides the ROTC students scholarships in excess of $25,000.
Application information is available upon request at the Office of
Student Financial Support and Services for all scholarship areas. Also,
scholarship information is available on the Internet.
Sargent Emergency Student Loan Fund
Emergency 30-day loans are available to Edinboro University under-
graduate and graduate students. Original funds for this program were
contributed in memory of Gray Norman and Nicholas Rock, former stu-
dents, in memory of Dr. Harry Earlley, former acting president, and Dr.
L. H. Van Houten, former president of the College, and by the Alpha Phi
Omega fraternity and by the Edinboro University Alumni Association.
Three alumni donors, Mary Alice (Noxon) Sargent, Dr. Harold R.
Sargent and Millard B. Sargent, have now commemorated the endow-
ment. Application forms are available at the Office of Student Financial
Support and Services. Awards may not exceed $150.
Graduate Studies
Need-based grant programs are discontinued upon the receipt of a bac-
calaureate degree. Graduate students with need may apply for Federal
Stafford Loans by completing the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA).
Graduate students may borrow up to $8,500 annually through the
Federal Stafford Student Loan program. Federal Unsubsidized Stafford
Loans may also be used for graduate study up to total cost of each aca-
demic graduate year, to a maximum of $10,000 in additional funding.
(Note: Graduate students enrolled in the Teacher Certification program
and not receiving a master's degree are subject to undergraduate loan
limits of $5,500 Subsidized Stafford and $5,000 Unsubsidized Stafford
Loan limits.)
Graduate students interested in competing for graduate assistantships
which waive tuition charges and provide an earning stipend while study-
ing full-time, should contact the Graduate Studies Office.
Enrollment Requirements
Students are required to be enrolled in a degree or certificate program in
order to be considered for Federal Title IV student aid including PELL
and supplemental grants, Perkins and Stafford loans, and college work-
study programs. Grants and loans are reduced proportionately for part-
time students. State grants require half-time attendance or a minimum of
six semester hour credits attempted each term. Student withdrawals from
classes during the rebate period (first five weeks of the semester) will
limit the full-time or part-time enrollment designation. Full withdrawal
from all classes will result in restricted student aid program eligibility.
Withdrawing students should seek financial aid counseling.
STUDENT AFFAIRS AND
STUDENT SUCCESS
The mission of the Division of Student Affairs and Student Success is to
anticipate, plan for, and respond to the needs of a diverse student body
in a constantly changing world. This is accomplished by providing pro-
grams and services that enhance learning and personal growth.
Collaborative efforts with other campus and community entities are fos-
tered to establish a supportive and challenging learning environment,
encourage student involvement in shared governance, and create a com-
munity essential to advancing the University's goal of excellence.
Student Judicial Affairs
Edinboro University has an obligation to protect its educational mission.
Standards of scholarship and conduct are established to maintain order,
to provide for the safety and well being of all members of the University
community, to support a positive living and learning environment, and
to uphold the good name of the University. Students are held account-
able for their actions and are encouraged to act as positively contribut-
ing members of the University community. Consistent with the educa-
tional mission of the University, appropriate efforts are made to foster
personal and social development. The Office of Student Judicial Affairs
provides the due process through which allegations of misconduct are
adjudicated. Copies of the Student Code of Conduct and Judicial
Procedures are available at the Office of Student Judicial Affairs in
Lawrence Towers, and the Office of Student Affairs and Student Success
in the University Center.
Student Health Services
The University is genuinely concerned that students remain in their max-
imum state of wellness. The Ghering Health and Wellness Center is
available to provide health care and health education for students. The
wellness approach to health care is of utmost importance to the staff of
Student Health Services. Maintaining a healthy student population
increases class attendance, and improves overall academic performance.
Student Health Services is staffed by licensed family physicians, a certi-
fied registered nurse practitioner, and registered nurses certified in the
college health specialty. The goal of the staff is to promote wellness,
healthier lifestyles, educate, increase health consumer awareness, and
encourage self-care responsibilities. A wide referral base is maintained
for any expertise needed to treat the student. Ambulance service is avail-
able from the local community fire department and is utilized at the stu-
dent's own expense or his/her insurance carrier. Extreme confidentiality
is maintained and information will not be released without the student's
written or verbal permission. Students are encouraged to have open com-
munications with their family or significant other. Short-term observa-
tion is available if the staff feels it would be appropriate, and laboratory
services are available adjacent to the campus. A sample of services avail-
