What kinds of courses are offered?
Dickinson College offers academic courses in a variety of disciplines. Dickinson College does not offer casual courses or ESL (English as a second language) training.
What is expected of scholarship recipients?
-
Courses are challenging and often require class participation, extensive reading assignments and essay writing. Scholarship recipients are expected to successfully complete their course, whether the course is being audited or taken for credit.
-
To remain eligible for the scholarship for a second semester, the student must attend classes regularly and receive a passing grade. Students are responsible for checking their Dickinson email and Gateway account for important course information and College updates.
-
Scholarship recipients are also expected to follow Dickinson community standards for academic and social conduct.
What do I need to know before applying for the scholarship?
First, it is important to understand that classes are kept to a small size and that Dickinson College must prioritize full-time students' course registration as they are work toward their degree. USAWC scholarship recipients are part-time students and need to be flexible as they select one course, since their top choice cannot be guaranteed.
