# Committee Overview

The Financial Aid and Scholarships Committee recommends minimum standards for receiving and maintaining financial aid through federal, state, and university-financed programs. The committee serves as the selection committee for privately funded scholarships without specified selection committees and hears scholarship and financial aid appeals. Policy recommendations are forwarded to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs with copies to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Research, the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration, and the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement.

Membership includes students, faculty, deans, chairs, and representatives from key offices. The Dean of Enrollment Services serves as an ex-officio, non-voting member. The committee elects a chair at the beginning of each academic year.
