Spring of 2015 or be enrolled in a class for the Summer of 2015. In addition, I must have at least one upper-level

in the Fall 2015 Semester or later.

hours in the spring will receive a 50% scholarship. Students enrolled in less than 6 hours in the spring will not
receive a scholarship.
I grant the Accounting department permission to review my academic records and performance, as well as this
application.
I understand that if I receive a scholarship:

I will be notified via the contact information (e.g., mailing address) provided in this application, and it is my
responsibility to check for notification.
(2)
Pursuant to Florida State University policies, I must provide the Accounting Department a “thank you” letter
addressed to the donor/sponsor as indicated in the letter of notification (the letter sent by the Accounting
Department to a scholarship award recipient after the scholarship decisions have been made) by the date
specified.
(3)
I must be registered for classes as an accounting major at FSU during the Fall 2015 Semester.
(4)
The scholarship award will be disbursed by the Florida State University Financial Aid Office through the
financial aid distribution during the Fall 2015 Semester. In no case will funds be paid after the Fall 2015
Semester.
(5)
The names of the scholarship award winners may be publicized, including but not limited to posting the names
of the award winners on the Accounting Department webpage.

Pursuant to the College of Business policies, scholarship recipients are expected to attend the 2015
