Carleton College Receives Grant from The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation for Scholarships

Scholarships are based on academic merit, financial obligations and college potential; scholarships will apply to overall tuition, travel, room, and board expenses.

A limited number of full and partial scholarships are available to students applying to the Carleton Summer Science Institute.

The comprehensive fee of $3,350 includes:

• Tuition
• All books and class supplies
• Six Carleton credit hours (equivalent to three semester hours)
• Room and board (all meals)
• Activities and excursions

The scholarship deadline has passed for 2012.   

You can complete the scholarship application online and there will be an option on the second page of the application that allows you to apply for a scholarship.  There will be some supplemental information we request when applying for the scholarship to aid the selection committee in their decisions.   There will also be a section where we ask you to provide information for three references that will receive an e-mail requesting them to complete a short, online recommendation form. 

**PLEASE PLAN AHEAD IF YOU ARE ON SPRING BREAK AROUND THIS TIME, AS THE RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE TO BE COMPLETED BY MARCH 28.  YOU SHOULD NOTIFY YOUR REFERENCES THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE, AS THE E-MAIL IS AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED, AND OFTEN ENDS UP IN THE JUNK OR SPAM FOLDERS.**

Your references should be teachers, principals, counselors or other educational professionals that can write about your academic abilities.
