Students under review for Professional Standing related issues may be deemed ineligible until the resolution of their review. This award is renewable to awarded students who remain in good academic standing.

Nomination/application must include the following:

1. The application form.
2. Curriculum Vitae.
3. An unofficial NSU transcript. (The transcript requirement can be fulfilled by printing an unofficial copy from your student account on Sharklink. Go to Self-Service Banner (SSB Webstar) and access the student section. Then access your “Student Profile” page and print a transcript from that page. A paid official transcript is not necessary.)
4. A letter of recommendation from a College of Psychology faculty member.
   
   Additional letters of support are welcome. The letters should be sent via email directly to kirk@nova.edu.
   
   The letters of recommendation must have the student’s last name and first name in both the body of the email and the submitted document or they may not be accepted. Additionally, the letter must specify the scholarship(s) for which the student is being recommended.
   
   One letter of recommendation may be submitted for multiple scholarship applications, but the names must be listed in the body of the document, or it will not be matched with the proper application(s).

All applications and associated materials must be received in the Office of the Dean by June 22, 2025.
