This scholarship was established in 1999 by a bequest from Ms. Mei Yuen Hoover to assist students with disabilities who wish to study at GW's Columbian College of Arts and Sciences. It is the goal of this scholarship to help these students attend school and complete their undergraduate and graduate education.

The Mei Yuen Hoover Scholarship is awarded annually. The number of scholarships and the amount of each award are determined each year.

 

Applicant Eligibility

Students with disabilities who have been admitted to or are currently enrolled in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences are eligible to apply for the Mei Yuen Hoover Scholarship. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, may be residents of any state in the U.S. except the District of Columbia, and must demonstrate financial need. Students who wish to apply for this scholarship must also complete a detailed application.

Although financial need is strongly considered when selecting a recipient, it may not be the sole deciding factor. Scholastic excellence, opportunity for career advancement, or other notable circumstances may be considered.

Any student with a disability who meets the eligibility requirements can be selected as a recipient of the Mei Yuen Hoover Scholarship. Previous Mei Yuen Hoover Scholarship recipients are eligible to re-apply for subsequent awards.
