Scholarship
[Flyer] Katona Scholarship for rising seniors: The Katona Scholarship for Excellence in Bioengineering is available to rising seniors with a declared major in Bioengineering at George Mason University. This Scholarship is open to Bioengineering students pursuing any concentration within the degree program. Students selected for the scholarship have demonstrated strong academic performance, professional leadership within the university or outside, and exceptional promise for a successful bioengineering career that would benefit society. Selection of the scholarship awardee may be based entirely on merit, however, a compelling financial need will also be considered. The annual Katona Scholarship award levels may vary from year-to-year but it is expected to be no less than $2,000.00
To be considered, interested students should complete this form and submit it electronically to Ms. Claudia Borke (cborke@gmu,.edu<mailto:cborke@gmu,.edu>) or in hardcopy to the Bioengineering office (3100, Peterson Hall) by no later than Sunday September 15th, 2019 @ 5:00pm.
The scholarship is not available for students graduating this fall 2019.
