Description:

The Gloria Feigenbaum Scholarship was created by the family, friends and associates at University of Arizona and Tucson in memory of Gloria Feigenbaum, an active faculty member and champion for women's rights during her career at the University of Arizona. She was a member of the committee to form the original Tucson Women's Commission and was appointed to serve on the first Arizona Women's Commission.
Gloria Feigenbaum was also the founder of the Youth University at the UA, and creatively sought to involve everyone in the continuation of education on the college campus. This scholarship was created to provide support for women who have previously attended a post-secondary educational institution, but have had to interrupt their education for two or more years. Candidates must apply and be accepted at the University of Arizona as either full- or part-time students and demonstrate FASFA financial need. The scholarship is renewable through re-application.

Background
|
Open education database provides a variety of minority scholarships: "Some minority scholarships make funds available to applicants from specific backgrounds: for example, Hispanic scholarships are available only to Hispanic and Latino applicants. But some scholarships accept a broader applicant pool and any student from a minority background is eligible. These scholarships seek to improve graduation rates among minority students, increase diversity in the job market, and meet financial needs." |
Requirements:
|
As listed on the OEDBwebsite: The scope of minority scholarships is very broad, so eligibility requirements can vary considerably. However, most scholarships are based on merit and require students to meet specific academic and community involvement requirements. They might also focus on meeting financial needs and require to applicants to verify their dependence on financial aid to attend college. However, all minority scholarships are only available to students from minority cultural or ethnic backgrounds. Other requirements may include:

Teaching Assistantships
Teaching assistantships are offered on a semester by semester basis to master's students in the Dhaliwal-Reidy School of Accountancy at the University of Arizona. These positions involve working with professors teaching undergraduate accounting courses. Positions are limited and will be provided to applicants who are most qualified. Qualifications include GPA, GMAT score, recommendations from professors, demonstration of skill in the courses for which you are seeking a TA position and other qualitative factors.
Requirements
Students must have a minimum GPA of 3.0. If at any time the GPA drops, they lose their assistantship. Students will also need to re-apply for TA positions each semester. Students will be required to work 10 hours per week (at .25 FTE) and if they need any time off they should clear it with their assigned professor. Most faculty are very understanding (especially during exam weeks).
Accepting a TA position indicates that you agree to not hold an outside job during the regular semester. You are allowed to work during breaks (summer, winter, spring). Working an outside job during the regular semester will make you ineligible to receive TA benefits. All TAs must attend a mandatory training session before classes start.
Benefits
Benefits for TAs include the following:
- Out-of-state tuition waiver (only pay in-state tuition)
- 50 percent in-state tuition reduction
- Insurance (single, family is extra)
- TA's are not required to work during recognized semester breaks
- In addition to tuition reductions, TAs receive a stipend of approximately $5,000 per semester (subject to change)
Application
To be considered for a TA position, students must apply to the School of Accountancy by the TA consideration deadline of March 1 (fall semester) or October 1 (spring semester). Applicants should indicate on the application that they want to be considered for a TA position.
Application information will be provided to admitted students.
