A fund of more than $21,000 is available to communication majors and pre-majors in grants-in-aid and student access funds from the UNLV Greenspun School of Communication. These grants are similar to scholarships and are awarded based on grade point average, class standing, and supporting materials.

All applications must be received at the Greenspun School of Communication main office located in the Dungan Humanities Building, Room 452, by 5 p.m., Oct. 25.

To be eligible, a student must be an undergraduate major or pre-major in communication studies, have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 and register for both the fall 1996 and spring 1997 semesters. Grant-in-aid applicants must be registered for 12 credits per semester and student access applicants must be registered for at least six credits per semester at UNLV. Winners of other Greenspun School scholarships for 1996-97 are not eligible to apply.

To apply, submit one original and one copy of the following documents:

1. A completed "Scholarship and Grant-in-Aid" form, available at the Greenspun School main office.

2. A one-page, typed, double-spaced statement on the student's academic and professional goals.

3. Optional: Supporting materials such as class papers, creative projects, or a resume. (No copies needed of video tapes.)
