More than $30,000 in scholarships will be awarded to communication and pre-communication majors and to communication graduate students.

To be eligible, students must hold a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Scholarship recipients will be required to register for a minimum of 12 credit hours in the fall 1997 and Spring 1998 semesters. Graduate students must register for nine credit hours each semester and graduate assistants for six. Students who register for 12 credit hours in only the fall 1997 semester will be considered for funding. Scholarships are also available for incoming freshman.

1. A completed Hank Greenspun School of Communication scholarship application form, available at the school's main office in the Flora Dungan Humanities Building, Room 452.

2. A current UNLV transcript available from the Registrar's Office. Unsealed transcripts will be accepted as they must be copied. Applicants should not request that the registrar send a copy of the transcript. Report cards will not be accepted.

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

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