CLEVELAND, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- No matter what your economic situation,
your child may be eligible for a $3,000 scholarship from Cleveland State
University (CSU). It's called the Freshman Scholars Program, and it will be
awarded to new full-time freshmen who enter in Fall 2010 with a minimum 3.0

"In these difficult economic times Cleveland State wants parents to know that
we want to help with significant scholarships for their qualifying sons and
daughters," explained Robert Spademan, Assistant Vice President of Admissions.
"Cleveland State University understands the added economic burden that
families face when sending children to college during these stressful times."
February 1, 2010 is the last day to apply for the Freshman Scholars Program,
so it is important to submit an application as early as possible. Incoming
freshmen can apply online at www.engagecsu.com.
The $3,000 scholarship is renewable by maintaining a 3.0 cumulative GPA for
full-time students. Accordingly, a four-year scholarship can be worth as much
as $12,000. With CSU tuition at about $8,000 per year, the Freshman Scholars
Program reduces annual tuition by 36 percent.
At the recent Cleveland State Admissions Fall Visit Day Program, news about
the Freshman Scholars Program received enthusiastic response from an audience
of more than 500 parents and prospective students. With more than 200 majors
and programs, CSU offers a complete academic portfolio coupled with a $500
million campus transformation, new residence halls on campus, NCAA Division I
sports and more. Parents can make a 5-minute visit online at
www.engagecsu.com.
"We created this program to help incoming freshmen and their families at a
time when they are looking for an outstanding education at a reasonable
price," added Spademan. "This new program gives parents a way to recognize and
reward their children for maintaining good grades and test scores while in
high school."
