JFK Scholarship/Tuition Reduction Program for International Students 

The JFK Scholarship is an award allocated specifically for undergraduate international students who are studying in the United States on F-1 student visas.  The goal of the award is to provide financial assistance to international students while allowing them the opportunity to give back at Shippensburg University through interacting with Ship students and other volunteer opportunities.
