Graduate Memorial Scholarships

O. Ruth McQuown Graduate Scholarship Award

Deadline

All materials are due by February 23 of each year. Students must be registered for Fall of the current year to receive the award.

Requirements

Please submit complete applications electronically to Jane Santos by the deadline. Only emailed submissions will be accepted. Letters of recommendation may be sent separately by email directly to jane.santos@ufl.edu. Previous recipients are not eligible to apply.

Successful applicants must demonstrate excellence in academic achievement in one or more of the qualifying disciplines. Among other qualifications, reviewers will favorably consider, regardless of an applicant’s own race or gender:

  • an applicant’s commitment to break down barriers, create a welcoming environment, and include individuals who are racial minorities or women (or otherwise reflect broad diversity) in academic, co-curricular, and/or research endeavors
  • an applicant’s success in overcoming barriers—or helping others to overcome barriers (including low socio-economic background)—to academic achievement; and
  • an applicant’s commitment to contribute to the student’s university, local or larger community. We will holistically and individually assess applicants under all criteria to select those students who best qualify.
