Schedule An Appointment
The Office of Distinguished Scholarships (ODS) is available to help students at all levels of their education articulate their goals within and beyond the university and will work with you individually to find scholarships that match these goals. ODS is here to advise you on applications and suggest interviewing strategies. Please be sure to read through this website and at least attempt some scholarship searching to identify specific scholarships you would like to pursue. If you are just getting started, plan to attend or watch one of our workshops before your first appointment. As a prerequisite, you must meet with an Advising ODS Program Assistant FIRST prior to booking an appointment with the ODS Director.
