  • Will I still receive a departmental scholarship or Presidential/Trustee scholarship while participating in an internship or co-op during the fall or spring semester?
    In order to recieve departmental scholarships, students must be enrolled in a MGMT 390 course. As of September 30, 2016: Krannert has four internship courses: 39010 Accounting, 39020 MGMT, 39030 IM and 39040 ECON. If students have a presidential/trustee scholarship they will not receive the scholarship during the semester they are not enrolled as a Krannert major with a minimum of 12 credit hours through Purdue, West Lafayette campus. Students with presidential/trustee scholarships who have coops/internships planned are advised to contact DFA and copy meven@purdue.edu (the Krannert Scholarship director) to communicate their coop/internship situation. Following the coop/internship, if the student continues to meet the Presidential/Trustee scholarship criteria, DFA will work with the students to reinstate the Presidential/Trustee scholarship. The scholarship will be reinstated for the following: fall or spring semester. The Krannert Scholarship area recommends that students communicate coop/internship information a minimum of 30 days prior to the start of any coop/internship absence from campus. Also, we suggest sending a follow-up email to DFA, a minimum of 30 days prior to the semester the student(s) return to campus.

  • What if I am a freshman and have a presidential scholarship in another college, and want to transfer to Krannert?
    If a student has a Trustees/Presidential scholarship, they must stay in their original school through the first year. First year students need to wait to transfer until after spring grades are posted. In order to renew a Trustees/Presidential scholarship a student must have a - 3.0 GPA at the end of spring semester. And a completion of 30 credit hours in the fall and spring. Reach out the DFA if you have questions.
