Kent State University at Tuscarawas has established February 1 as the priority admissions application deadline, which positions applicants for earlier scholarship consideration. The date has been moved up from March 1.
“Moving the admissions application deadline forward allows us to award scholarships and financial aid earlier in the admission process,” said Courtney Nign, assistant director for Enrollment Management and Student Services. “This helps students and their families to be more informed about the actual cost of college so they can choose the school that best meets their needs. In addition, the university’s admission application fee of $45 is waived during the months of November and December if the application is completed online.”
The Kent State Tuscarawas admissions application is online at www.kent.edu/tusc/apply.
Students must be admitted to the university before being considered for scholarships. Kent State Tuscarawas awards approximately $300,000 in scholarships each year, with more than 250 students receiving scholarships this academic year. Scholarships, which are funded by Kent State University and the Tuscarawas County University Foundation, are awarded based on financial need and academic merit.
“We recommend that all students file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is available online now at www.fafsa.gov,” added Nign. “Prospective and existing students can meet with our Financial Aid Office to discuss their individual situations by calling our financial aid coordinator Jason Maurer at 330-308-7486 to set up an appointment.”
