Scholarships Available Through Education Student Services (ESS)

Offerings (fall and winter semesters only)

Eligibility

  • Scholarships are offered to full-time undergraduate and graduate students officially admitted to a McKay School program (part-time undergraduates not eligible).
  • Other undergraduate students majoring in a teacher education program are also eligible.
  • Criteria vary by specific scholarships; the following may be considered:  GPA, needs, hometown, major, and dependent children.
  • Scholarships are awarded based primarily on need.  Students are discouraged from applying for an MSE scholarship if they are receiving full tuition via grants; other scholarships;  financial support from family/friends; financial aid from federal, state, or local government agencies; or scholarships from  BYU or any of its departments or organizations.

Specific Qualifications

  • Undergraduates must be enrolled in courses comprising 14 or more credit hours, unless enrolled in a student teaching/internship class, which reduces the required credit load to 12.
  • Graduates must carry 2 or more credit hours; the scholarship amount awarded to graduate students will be commensurate with the credits carried.
  • Graduate /undergraduate students must be in good standing, and their accounts must be free of any holds.
  • Applicants must maintain a 3.0 or higher GPA. ( Extenuating circumstances may be explained in the need essay.)
