Nominate a Student Worker for the Larry Elsasser Memorial Scholarship

The fourth annual Larry Elsasser Memorial Scholarship will award $1,000 scholarships to two full-time undergraduate students employed at the university. Supervisors can assist by encouraging their student assistants to apply.

Application to the scholarship is open through Oct. 1, and will be awarded to two student employees working at the university, who meet the following criteria: 

• The student must be enrolled as a full-time student at the University of Cincinnati;

• The student must be employed by the university as an enrolled student employee at the time of application for the scholarship and award;

• The student must have completed or is in the process of completing two semesters of academic work and hold a cumulative university grade point average of 3.0 or better; and

• The student must submit the required forms including a reference from their supervisor at the university.

A university committee consisting of representatives from Campus Services and Student Affairs will review all applications submitted for the scholarship. Determination of the scholarship recipients will be based on: 

• Completion of the required forms;

• Demonstrated need for the scholarship;

• Demonstrated work as a student employee; and

• Supervisor review and comments.

The two awards will be announced on Oct. 18, 2016, which is National Student Day. 

A well-known Bearcat alumnus, Larry Elsasser, Ed ’65, MEd ’73, served as a UC employee for 35 years. For most of those years, Larry served as the director of Tangeman University Center. In 2011, the Campus Services staff established the Larry Elsasser Memorial Scholarship Fund with the UC Foundation in his memory.
