Calvary University International Scholarship in the USA 2022

0

Calvary University offers a variety of scholarships to new and returning students. To qualify for scholarships, new and transfer students must first apply and be accepted for admission. All scholarships require that a student be degree-seeking and enrolled full-time (at least 12 hours for undergraduate students). Students must reapply for all scholarships each academic year in order to be considered for re-award (unless otherwise stated). Paperwork for scholarships requiring verification or additional information must be submitted and approved prior to class registration for scholarships or discounts to be applied to the student’s bill. Specific requirements for available scholarships can be reviewed below.

Scholarships funded by Calvary are awarded to cover tuition and fees at Calvary University only. Although most scholarships are stackable, as some scholarships are considerably more than others, you may not be able to stack certain scholarships.Student payments including outside scholarships, Pell Grant, Student Loans, and all other sources of payments on a student account are applied to a student’s billing charges first; then Calvary-funded scholarships are applied to any remaining balance.

Any resulting credit balance is left on the student’s account, and can be used in future semesters. Calvary does not pay out credit balances created by Calvary-funded scholarships to students. If the student ceases attending Calvary, any remaining credit balance resulting from Calvary-funded scholarships will result in a reduction of previously awarded scholarships to zero out the student’s balance.

Not all who apply for a scholarship and are otherwise eligible may receive the scholarship(s). Please note that all figures and factors are taken into consideration in the award of student scholarships, including on-campus or off-campus residence.Decisions on scholarships are made by the Student Aid Committee, whose deliberations and decisions are not public information. Applicants will be notified of their award status by the Enrollment Management Support Office. 

Application Deadline

Application deadlines are April 1 for students entering in the fall semester and December 1 for new and transfer students entering in the spring semester. All new and renewal applicants must complete the FAFSA before scholarships are awarded each year.

Carefully read the requirements for each scholarship BEFORE you submit your application. Submit all required documentation including any required essays.

Merit-Based Scholarships Eligibility

Once you are admitted as a first-time, full-time freshman, your academic records such as SAT/ACT scores and high school GPA, are reviewed to determine your eligibility for NJIT scholarships; however, to be considered for additional scholarship funds, you must send your request via email to Mr. Stephen Eck at eck@njit.edu along with copies of your other offers. Also, many scholarships require that you demonstrate financial need. To be considered for need-based scholarships, you must also have a processed FAFSA on file for the academic year. Scholarship application forms are available here. Please be advised that the combination of grants and scholarships, generally, cannot exceed the student charges the scholarship was intended to pay such as tuition and fees; and if so, the scholarship amounts may be reduced when other aid on the package already funds such charges.

Most merit-based scholarship programs require that you be enrolled full time and maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0. Most scholarships are renewable, but some are not. To continue receiving renewable scholarships, you must continue to meet the scholarship criteria as set forth in the scholarship agreement. However, because some external scholarships funds are determined by the value from the market, there could be occasions where a scholarship may have funds one year and not in a subsequent year if the market is unfavorable. Students will be notified if they are impacted ahead of time so that other options are explored.

For most scholarship programs, NJIT monitors whether a scholarship can be renewed after the spring semester. General scholarship requirements are the following:

  • Continuous full-time enrollment;
  • Meet the standards of Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) as outlined here.
  • Maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA (at time of the annual review in June) and attain a minimum 3.0 GPA for each and every semester;
  • Not exceed the maximum terms (4-years for non-Architect students and 5-years for Architect students and 3 years for accelerated programs), including the number of years/semesters you have already taken.
  • Combination of grants and scholarships awards does not exceed student bill tuition charges or the amount the funds were intended to pay for. The detailed scholarship policy can be found here.

If you are a scholarship recipient and are no longer meeting the scholarship criteria, you are given notification and provided scholarship appeal procedures. Students can only appeal once for a scholarship reinstatement – no second or further appeals requests will be granted. Note that the scholarship appeal process differs and is separate from the SAP appeal process described in “Section X. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy.”

Scholarship Universe

NJIT invested in a scholarship software to assist students find external scholarships to help meet their educational expenses. The Scholarship Universe software allows students to precisely locate scholarships that meet the student’s academic profile. Student’s with a UCID account can access the software to begin their search. Once students apply, they are taken to the external organization for further follow-up. You can apply here.

Scholarship Policies

Uniform Awarding and Application of Payment

Effective Fall 2018, the process for awarding and applying funds to the student account will follow the below Uniform Awarding and Application of Payment procedure. When instituting this order, awards will not exceed the charges intended to fund factoring in other awards that are part of the package.

  • Direct Charge and Award Lines
  • Tuition-Aid-Grants
  • Third Party Contracts/External Scholarships*
  • NJIT Scholarships (Processed by Student Financial Aid Services)
    • Donors
      • Tuition Only
      • Tuition and Fees
      • Donor supported up to tuition, fees, room and board
      • Donor supported up to cost of attendance
    • Institutional
      • Tuition Only
      • Tuition and Fees
    • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
    • Federal Pell Grant
    • Athletic Aid
    • Mandated State Waivers (National Guard, Unemployment)
    • NJIT Tuition Remission
    • Student Loans
    • Student Payments

*Click here for a glossary of terms

* External third party contracts/awards may supersede this order since third party contracts/awards may indicate a specific application of payment (e.g. Tuition, fees etc.). External (third party) scholarships without any indication from the external agency as to application of payment will be processed so that the combination of the external and other relevant grants and scholarships will not produce a credit but will be applied to pay tuition, fees, and on-campus room and board, if applicable. Other external prestigious awards such as the Bauder, Goldwater, National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, Fulbright and Cambridge awards, will have an award cap up to tuition, fees, room, meals and an NJIT Bookstore credit up to $1,200. No cash award will be provided.

The award renewal and application of payment procedure for previous donor-sponsored scholarship recipients where the scholarship intent was unspecified, will follow the previous process as they will be “grandfathered” until graduation, provided the student meets the general scholarship eligibility requirements. The award terms and conditions are accessible on the student’s Highlander Pipeline portal Financial Aid Self-Service Awards section. Although prior recipients of donor-sponsored scholarship awards with unspecified intent will be grandfathered, all new Fall 2018 awards will follow the Uniform Awarding and Application of Payment procedure. Any scholarship with unspecified purpose will be applied towards tuition, tuition-related fees, and on-campus room and board minus other awards that already cover these charges. However, If the student is a recipient of an NJIT institutional scholarship and was selected to receive a donor-sponsored scholarship, and both awards duplicate the benefit, the institutional award will be reduced first to correct the over award.

Combining Scholarship Awards/Scholarship Over awards
In general, the total amount a student is awarded cannot exceed the charges the award intended to pay. In some instances, when tuition-based grants (like TAG Grants) and NJIT tuition-based scholarships are part of the package, students are limited to receiving these awards up to the cost of tuition. While other NJIT merit scholarships (like Honors scholarship and Freshmen Highlander Scholarships) are restricted to tuition and fees, the combination of other tuition and fee based awards cannot exceed the value of tuition and fees. Federal Pell or SEOG Grants are never reduced in the context of scholarship awarding as the fund can pay up to the cost of attendance.

Outside Scholarships
External scholarships from private organizations may also be restricted to specific expenses by the organization awarding it, and the Office of Student Financial Aid working in conjunction with the Bursar’s Office will apply the scholarships accordingly. This could reduce previously awarded funds. Depending on the type of award and the purpose for the external scholarship, institutional and donor-sponsored scholarships may be reduced to correct the excess. For example, if an outside scholarship is received and it specifies the funds should be used for tuition and an NJIT merit scholarship is already covering tuition, the NJIT merit scholarship will be reduced to factor in the outside scholarship.

On-Campus Housing
For scholarship awarding purposes, on-campus housing constitutes on-campus dorms and the Greek Village as they are owned and/or operated by NJIT. University Centre is not considered on-campus for awarding purposes.

Renewal Process/ Award Selections
To provide adequate time for students and families to plan for their educational expenses, timely awards are necessary. To that end, all scholarship selections from academic departments must be completed no later than June 30 for the upcoming fiscal year. All donor-sponsored scholarships are expected to be renewed provided there is funding and prior recipients continue to meet the scholarship criteria as specified on the scholarship agreement. The University recognizes the value of scholarship renewals as it provides continuous student financial support.

Application of Payment Policy

Business Development and Funding Officer at CARE International (CI) : Deadline: 03-09-2021

JOB ADVERTISEMENT:

CARE International in Rwanda is seeking to recruit a “Business Development and Funding Officer”

Introduction

CARE is a global leader within a worldwide movement dedicated to ending poverty. We are known everywhere for our unshakeable commitment to the dignity of people. We currently work in over 93 countries, and focus primarily on women and girls as the most disproportionately affected by poverty, while engaging men and boys through our work too.

CARE’s East, Central, and Southern Africa Regional Office (ECSARO) is responsible for the oversight of CARE’s operations as well as the provision of support to 15 Country Offices in the region. For more information about our work, please visit www.care.org

Institutional income is increasingly important to CARE. Such institutional sources (including multilateral and bilateral agencies and donors) typically have decentralized operations, budgets, and decision-making structures throughout the world. To engage effectively with these organizations, CARE has an established global – architecture that mirrors its key institutional relationships builds stronger partnerships, and delivers greater impact and influence at country, regional and global levels. This operational architecture also enables CARE to more readily pursue multi-country / regional opportunities that are increasingly offered by institutional donors to address transnational issues to most effectively mobilize resources.




Overview of the Role

Based on CARE’s strategies in Rwanda and Burundi, and in accordance with CARE 2030 vision, the Business Development and Funding Officer (BDFO) will support in leading on new business development in support of Rwanda and Burundi, creating, identifying, and accessing new funding opportunities; contribute in maintaining a consistent standard of donor relationship and high-quality proposal development across the two country contexts; and will actively seek to grow income for the CARE country programs through (national, multi-country or global) funding opportunities and consortium partnerships.

The BDFO will be expected to work alongside the country teams and CARE USA in operationalizing the results of the donor mapping and be the primary link for accessing technical fundraising assistance and support from the confederation’s fundraising architecture and especially all the (current and potential) CMPs of countries both at global and at regional ECSA levels.

Requirements for the Role

Educational Qualifications

  • The Minimum requirement is a university degree or equivalent in Business Administration, Law, Economics, or International Development or other relevant experience.
Technical Skills, Experience & Knowledge

Essential:

  • Demonstrable experience and success in engaging with bilateral and multilateral donors for an international agency like CARE
  • Demonstrated ability to devise and implement resource mobilization strategies
  • Proven ability to identify new business opportunities and partnerships
  • Proven experience in project management and process improvement
  • Experience in working with and coaching technical teams to develop complex program proposals that are funded by institutional donors
  • Ability to work effectively with others in a team across institutional boundaries and business units. Proven ability to utilize talent and expertise of team members to achieve objectives
  • Ability to adapt and work within a multicultural, multilingual, and multidisciplinary environment
  • Superior verbal and written communications and writing skills in English and French with the ability to analyze and synthesize complex issues into appealing presentations/pitches/proposals
  • Strong proven ability to identify and articulate strategic and policy issues through effective oral and written briefs
  • Proven facilitation skills
  • Excellent computer skills, including various office applications and internet navigation
  • Solid understanding of a rights-based approach and gender sensitivity, and experience in the NGO sector

Desirable

  • Experience with USAID, EU guidelines, and procedures
  • Work experience in the Great Lakes or the wider region (ECSA)
  • Good knowledge about key issues of development and transition in the INGO sector
  • Experience in marketing and/or communication

How to apply

Interested candidates should send their application file (CV, Academic certificate, and cover letter) via the ” Apply for this job” button not later than September 03, 2021 Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further steps.

CARE seeks to improve the lives of the most marginalized, particularly women and girls. Our diversity is our strength. We are an equal opportunity employer promoting gender, equity, diversity, and Inclusion. CARE’s focus as an organization is to empower women and girls as we strongly believe that they are most affected by poverty. In line with our values, we highly encourage women to apply for this position.

*Disclaimer: CARE International does not charge any kind of fee at whichever stage of the recruitment.

About Chancen International

Chancen International is a non-profit organization that provides an ethical, fair, and responsible financing model for young people in Africa to access quality tertiary education. This financing model is called an Income Share Agreement (ISA) and was tried and tested for 20 years in Germany before being launched in East Africa in 2018.

With an ISA financing model, Chancen International pays tuition fees during beneficiaries’ tenure of their studies, and graduates pay them back according to their income at the end of their studies, thus making it possible to finance the next generation of students. Chancen administrative base is located in Kigali, Rwanda, and in its first two years of financing operations, more than 1300 young people accessed funds for their tertiary education.

Chancen believes that young Africans are ready to take on the problems that have held their continent back if they are fairly and responsibly empowered. Education is one of the vehicles for harnessing that potential, and we work to create equal access to high-quality tertiary education for traditionally excluded populations. Our unique and innovative model of responsible and sustainable financing has the power to unleash intergenerational economic mobility for marginalized youth as they gain the skills required to participate in building strong economies and peaceful nations.

Chancen International’s next phase of growth comes with the launch of the Future of  Work Fund (FWF) which provides a blended investment opportunity for investors who want to ensure that the next generation of youth in Africa acquire employable skills and move into gainful employment. Our Income Share Agreement model has ensured students were able to continue their education to employment journey in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis and the demand from both students and partner institutions has seen a sharp increase in recent months due to reduction in household income and the ability for excluded youth to pay for education.

Chancen International is seeking to raise  $21M by mid-April of 2022 to advance our goal of serving 10,000 students in Rwanda, South Africa and Kenya by 2025. Our 25-year-old financial instrument provides a  blended investment option with a 5% return on debt for a 6 year term.

About the opportunity

Chancen South Africa is looking for a Business Growth Manager to lead the implementation of Chancen International’s (CI) business development. This will be largely implemented through the development of systems relating to student journey, partner education institutions, M&E and research and will serve over 10 000  excluded youth within the next three years, ensuring they receive access to high-quality education that leads to employment with our Income Share Agreement Model.

Job Purpose

The Business Growth Manager will be responsible for implementing and overseeing the development of Chancen International’s global systems. The development of the Chancen Information, M&E and Research functions are central systems that will allow country teams to scale to meet the requirements of our growing Member community.

Roles, Responsibilities and duties:

  •  Develop and lead the CI M&E strategy across all countries and investment requirements.
