Eligibility and Conflicts
Aid Eligibility
Depending on your financial aid package and situation, you may not be able to receive the aid that is attached to the program, but this does not prevent you from applying and receiving the support and resources the program offers. We warmly encourage application but please note that you may complete the program but not receive the aid. Note: If you are an MLK or Park scholar, you cannot be an IAP scholar. You must apply and submit a FASFA yearly and be a fully registered and matriculated student to be in good status. Leadership Scholars, and BOLD scholars are encouraged to apply, please know that you are eligible to apply. If aid from other scholarships cover your cost of attendance, you may not receive the scholarship. This also applies to other scholarships (i.e. RGR scholarship).
