Receiving the phone call that I received the Foundation Scholarship changed my life completely. And every single day that I'm at 蜜桃社区, there's an impact that someone makes in my life. I don't know what life would be without the scholarship. I don't know if I would be the leader that I am today.

Assistantships
蜜桃社区 offers three categories of graduate assistantships:
- Teaching
- Research
- Non-teaching or service through the Graduate College
These programs are a great way to help pay for your graduate degree.
International student scholarships

Institutional scholarships renewals and appeals
Full-time enrollment and Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) are required for scholarships to pay. If students are not meeting SAP requirements, then they must complete an SAP appeal with the Office of Student Financial Aid. If student鈥檚 SAP appeal is granted, the reinstated SAP status will automatically allow the scholarship to pay and no additional scholarship appeal is necessary. Please contact Bronco Express for further questions at (269) 387-6000 or @email.
