The Daily Bulletin

Applications for the Robert J. Elmes Jr. Memorial Scholarship are now available for the spring 2017 semester. All CSEA local 640 members and their dependent children registered at Buffalo State College for at least 3 credit hours for the spring 2017 semester may apply for the $250 scholarship. Applications were mailed to all CSEA members and must be completed and returned to Mary Codick, secretary 1 in the Teacher Certification Office, Chase Hall 222, by Wednesday, February 1. If you did not receive an application or need a new one, please contact Mary Codick, 878-6121.

Please note that beginning with the fall 2017 scholarship cycle, the Robert J. Elmes Jr. Memorial Scholarship will be administered through the Campus Application Portal for Scholarships (CAPS). This is the last semester that paper applications will be mailed to CSEA members. In the future, members will be notified of the scholarship application and deadlines via e-mail and the Daily Bulletin.

Please take some time to visit the Scholarships section of the Financial Aid website and become familiar with the CAPS platform. The Elmes scholarship application for fall 2017 should be operational within CAPS by late spring or early summer. The Elmes Committee, composed of CSEA members, will continue to determine eligibility and awards through this new platform, and the selection criteria will not change. Please contact Ms. Codick, Elmes Committee chair, 878-6121, with questions about the transition.

Thank you and good luck.
