 I am Dianne Nagy, the campus coordinator for those prestigious scholarships that require candidates to be nominated by the University. My contact information is below:
Phone: 605-688-6004
E-mail: Dianne.Nagy@sdstate.edu
Office location: Old Foundation Building, Box 550, Room 112
I advise SDSU students as they seek to identify and compete for scholarships and other academic prizes that are nationally and internationally competitive.
Although my office is located within the Honors College, my charge and goal are to assist students in all SDSU Colleges. Here are some of the things I do:
-Research and provide information regarding various scholarships.
-Talk with students regarding their plans. Clarifying goals is an essential aspect of scholarship candidacy and can begin as early as the Freshman Year for students interested in future scholarships.
-Work with students and faculty to match individuals with suitable opportunities.
-Coordinate the selection process at the campus level when necessary.
I take a central role in helping students as they compete. I assist with:
-Advice and feedback regarding paper applications. They often include some form of resume or list of accomplishments. Many require an essay or personal statement.
-Advice regarding scholarship interviews. I organize mock interviews when appropriate.
-Referral to other members of the SDSU community who might have relevant expertise. Many of these individuals offer indispensable assistance to scholarship seekers.
-Numerous details that vary from scholarship to scholarship: photographs, University endorsement, resources regarding schools in the United Kingdom, etc.
Many students feel they gain considerably from competing for scholarships. I hope you will come see me if you have questions or if would just like to talk about your options. I look forward to working with you. |
