FSM National Department of Education Opportunities

The National Scholarship Board supports eligible certificate, undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate study. Awards depend on academic standing, priority tier and funds available. Approved support is issued in two portions subject to continued eligibility and may be used for tuition, room and board, school supplies and resource materials. The official guideline gives December 31 as the recurring deadline for spring awards; no clock time or timezone is stated.

Applicants must be FSM citizens, be high-school graduates or hold a GED, and be accepted or enrolled at an accredited institution of higher education. The guideline requires at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA for certificate/undergraduate applicants and 3.0 for graduate/postgraduate applicants (or the institution's acceptable GPA), plus the stated full-time credit load.
