The AEF Community Scholarships Application is open to all prospective students who are eligible to enroll in AEF programs.
Students may not receive more than one scholarship in an academic year.
Disbursement of the scholarship funding is dependent upon participation in an AEF program.
Students may defer their scholarship award to any qualifying AEF program that starts within 12 months of the start date of the program they originally planned to attend.
For example, an awardee for a Spring semester can use the funding for the following Spring semester but not the subsequent Summer program.
A complete scholarship application includes the following:
- Completed application form
- Personal essay
- Two letters of reference
- Proof of financial need (optional)
- Program specific items
- Academic transcript
The application form contains detailed instructions for the essay, reference letters, and other items.
It is important to check those instructions before starting your essay or requesting letters of reference.
Awardees must be accepted into an AEF program and meet all course and program eligibility requirements before receiving the funding but not before submitting the scholarship application.
All application materials are submitted via email to
Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
Complete applications submitted before the deadline are reviewed collectively by the Scholarship Committee comprised of faculty and administrators.
Each application is scored against a rubric, or set of criteria, that match the instructions provided in the application form. For this reason, it is important to respond to the prompts for the personal essay and to provide instructions to your references.
Award Notices for Scholarships are issued two weeks after the scholarship submission deadline.
