Newsletter for UT Knoxville Students


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special

--- The state deadline for college financial aid is quickly approaching, and state officials are asking parents and students to beware of official-looking letters promising student financial aid information for a fee. Attorney General Bob Cooper and Division of Consumer Affairs Director Mary Clement are urging Tennesseans to be wary of potential financial scams designed to steal personal information and/or cash. The alert is being issued because the state has learned that students and parents of university students have been receiving letters urging them to pay $50 or more to apply for financial aid. Tennesseans can get information free from the school's financial aid office or online. For more info call 1-800-342-8385 or visit http://www.state.tn.us/consumer.

Good News

--- A gift from an alumna is helping the College of Arts and Sciences attract the best and brightest students to its graduate programs. The Newton W. and Wilma C. Thomas Graduate Fellowships in the Humanities and Social Sciences will establish 13 graduate fellowships for doctoral students in those disciplines beginning next fall. "Graduate students contribute significantly to our research and teaching mission. Offering competitive assistantships and fellowships -- particularly in the humanities -- is critical to recruiting talented students who will contribute to our knowledge-based economy," said Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek. The fellows will receive $16,000 annually for four years as they pursue doctoral degrees in their respective fields.
