The Satya Raj Community Engagement Scholarship was generously started by the founder of our office Dr. Poonam Gulati Salhotra. The intent of the scholarship is to provide the help some students need to get from a 2.5 GPA to 3.0 - with a preference given to those with a demonstrated commitment to community service. 

The scholarship offers $1,000 in the fall and a potential for a second $1,000 in the spring so long as all the criteria are met in the fall semester. Invitations to apply for the scholarship are sent the prior academic year in the spring semester. The invitation is sent via GatorMail automatically to those that meet the qualifications. If you feel you meet the qualifications but have not received an email, please feel free to reach out to ccesl@uhd.edu.

• Must be full-time UHD student, enrolled in minimum of 12 hours
• Available to students from any major
• Must have cumulative GPA of 2.5 to 2.99
