AG Bell is pleased to announce the 2018-2019 AG Bell College Scholarship competition is now open! These scholarships are highly competitive, so be sure to use the essay questions and letters of recommendation to give us a strong understanding of who you are and how you stand out.
Eligibility:
- You must have bilateral hearing loss diagnosed before the age of 4.
- You must use Listening and Spoken Language as your primary communication mode.
- You must be enrolled in or planning to attend a mainstream university and working toward a four-year undergraduate degree or a graduate degree.
- This isn't the right scholarship for law or public administration graduate students; apply for the Nofer Scholarship opening in February 2018.
Things to Prepare:
- If you use hearing aids, include an unaided audiogram dated no earlier than January 1, 2016. Use this to calculate your Pure Tone Average (PTA), which must be 55dB or higher. The formula is in the application.
- If you use cochlear implants (CI), include your recent CI report (you already meet the PTA requirement).
- Transcripts:
- High school: Showing grades 9-11 and the first semester of senior year.
- College freshman: Include high school transcript and first semester of your freshman year.
- Four-year undergraduate and graduate students: Include college transcript only.
- If your college only uses an online access format, upload the acknowledgement from the school in your application and provide this address to the school: scholarships@agbell.org
- Unweighted GPA:
- U.S.: 3.25 or higher.
- Outside U.S.: See application for international grade conversion.
- If your school doesn't use a 4.0 scale or doesn't include your unweighted GPA on your transcript, you must include an official letter from your school explaining what your unweighted GPA would be.
- Name, Address and Email for three recommenders.
Remember to collect your attachments before the deadline!
Deadline: March 9, 2018.
