Faculty and staff members may also submit the application on behalf of a student.Award decisions and subsequent processing through Financial Aid may take up to two weeks.The SOE Immediate Need Scholarship is made possible by private donations from SOE alumni and friends and availability of the SOE Immediate Need Scholarship is dependent on fluctuating demand.
