More Details

  • The MG James Ursano Scholarship Program offers scholarships based solely on financial need as evidenced by the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) reported on the Student Aid Report (SAR) from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
  • The MG James Ursano Scholarship Program is not an entitlement and applications are not automatically approved. Students must reapply each year and are eligible to receive funds for up to four academic years of full-time enrollment.
  • Award amounts vary and are not guaranteed year to year. Award amounts are determined based on the total budget allotted, the number of applications received, and each applicant’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC) reported on the SAR.
  • The MG James Ursano Scholarship will not be awarded for second bachelor’s degrees or for graduate degree programs.
  • The scholarship funds are mailed or transmitted electronically directly to the school prior to each academic term and may be used for tuition, fees, books, supplies, and school room and board (either on or off campus).
  • Any MG James Ursano Scholarship recipient who also receives funding from other sources (i.e., GI Bill, scholarships, VA benefits, etc.) may not be eligible to receive their full scholarship from AER. The Financial Aid Office at each school will determine the recipient’s final eligibility based on the student’s complete financial aid package. No student can receive funding above the school’s established Cost of Attendance – once all costs are covered, the school must return any remaining funds to AER
