Information Systems Department and Decision Sciences Department, College of Business  proudly announce

Several scholarships  will be awarded for the 2005-06 academic year to upper division Information Systems and Decision Sciences majors in the College of Business at San Francisco State University. Each recipient must be a U.S. citizen or hold a permanent resident visa. Seniors graduating this academic year are eligible and are encouraged to apply. Applicants will be judged on the basis of the following five criteria, with the first one being most important and weighted more heavily than the other four.

1. Grade Point Average in ISYS (BICS) and DS (BA) courses, the College of Business, and SFSU overall, with a minimum of 3.0 required in each category.
2. Three letters of recommendation: two from Faculty members in Department of Information Systems or Department of Decision Sciences and one from other departments in College of Business.
3. A one-page, single-space typewritten resume describing the student's educational and professional objectives, and summarizing the student's educational and professional experience.
4. A typewritten description of extracurricular activities, school service, honors, awards, and any other accomplishments attained while attending SFSU.
5. A personal statement of how you would use the award. This criterion does not influence the award of this scholarship, but may impact upon the amount.

Application forms and further information may be obtained from the Department Office (BUS 310) or be downloaded here.  Please submit your application to the Department Office at BUS 310 by April 28th 2006 (Friday). The Committee may, at its discretion, interview finalists selected on the basis of the above criteria. The winners of the scholarships will be announced at an upcoming IMSA meeting and the awards will be made shortly thereafter.
