The Edwin G. Michaelian Scholarship is a Westchester
County/
Pace University Partnership to promote excellence in government.
County and local municipal employees are invited to apply for
Edwin G. Michaelian Scholarships. Scholarships are granted by Westchester
County government to support the funding of graduate courses at Pace University
leading to degrees in Public Administration, Nursing Administration, Computer
Science and Business Administration.
Through the good offices of Pace University
and at no cost to
our taxpayers, Michaelian Scholarships fund 25% percent of tuition costs per
semester. It is the responsibility of the Scholar to fund the remaining
75% percent at the time of school registration. This scholarship does not
exclude the option of other sources to fund the balance (e.g.: tuition
reimbursement, educational loans).
| Applicants

| - |
A valued employee of Westchester
County or local municipality |
| - |
Bachelor's Degree |
| - |
At least 3 years employment in
government |

Career goals consistent with the
overall sponsoring government |
