There are two scholarship application windows - August and January. All students are expected to apply in the main August window but PTP and CCAPT students may also apply in January if they were accepted to the program after August or have significantly changed circumstances.
As a non-profit, charitable endowment, PEF adheres to fiscal policies that preserve principal and limit distributions. Per applicant awards will depend on the available funds, the number of applicants, and individual financial need. The amount of the scholarship awarded is at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee and may not be equal to the requested amount. Scholarship funds are partial scholarships only.
Tuition scholarship funds will be deducted from the tuition invoice. No payments will be made to the student or to an employer.
Supervision scholarship funds will be reimbursed to the student once a year upon submission of appropriate documentation and upon the condition the student is working with a supervisor who has agreed to the capped $75 fee. Award amounts are up to a specific amount. Reimbursement will not exceed the scholarship amount and may be less than the scholarship amount if not all funds were used. Applicants should check with their supervisor if they offer the $75 fee.
Analysis scholarship funds will be disbursed by check to the student in September. It is expected these funds will be used to pay for analysis.
The names of applicants and scholarship recipients will not be made public, and applications will be kept in confidential files only as long as they are needed for administrative purposes.
