UToledo Professional Staff Association

The University of Toledo Professional Staff Association Scholarship fund is sponsored by the Professional Staff Association (PSA), a group comprised of classified-exempt and unclassified administrative and professional employees who do not belong to a collective bargaining unit.

Criteria and Selection

Applicants must be UToledo students (undergraduate or graduate) and have a minimum GPA of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale. A 400-word essay is required, which may include statements of financial hardship, overcoming adversity, degree goals, plans for funds if selected for the scholarship, and/or current or planned service to the community.

The scholarship is non-college specific and can be used to fund tuition, fees, books, and other educational expenses. It is not automatically renewable – applicants must apply each year – and it is refundable. The total amount of scholarships awarded will be based on yearly funds available. 

How to Apply

To apply, students must submit a completed online application form and the 400-word essay. The scholarship also requires submitting the name of a current PSA member, who may be contacted if needed.

The PSA Scholarship Committee will evaluate the submitted materials and final candidates after the close of the application in March. Award recipients are announced around May.

The application is open from October through March 1st every academic year. It is part of the "Office of Student Financial Aid General Scholarship Application."
