Dear Students:

This survey is an internal assessment tool and the results are completely anonymous. The Scholarship Office seeks feedback about the services it offered to students in fall 2006, its first quarter of operation. Information provided will be used to enhance the outreach and mentoring services currently being provided to students related to prestigious scholarship and award programs

To help the program grow in a positive direction, all students who have worked with the office are asked to take the time to provide their anonymous responses to the questions below. While participation is voluntary, the Scholarship Office will derive enormous benefit from student feedback, so we ask you to seriously consider participating.
