The Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Data Science offers several scholarships to qualified students intending to major in mathematics, computer science, or teaching mathematics.
More scholarship information is available from the Office of Admission and Financial Aid.
Named in recognition for the lasting impact on the department by long-serving faculty member and mathematician Robert J. Kolesar, the Kolesar Scholarships are awarded to three incoming students intending to major in Mathematics, Computer Science, or Data Science. The amount of each scholarship is $2,000. Applicants must have already applied and been accepted for admission to John Carroll University to be considered. Scholarship award decisions are made in late February. An application for admission to John Carroll is available from the Office of Admission and Financial Aid.
Brother Schnepp was born in Chicago in 1896, entered the Society of Mary in 1913, and taught mathematics in Missouri, Louisiana, and Texas for the next 60 years. During this time he stimulated many bright students with his incisive wit, generosity of spirit, and scholarly interest in mathematics and related subjects.
Current students who are majoring or intend to major in mathematics at John Carroll are eligible to apply for a Schnepp Scholarship. The typical award ranges from $500 to $1000. Awards are made in the spring of each year to apply to the student’s financial aid package for the following academic year. Awards are for one year only, but recipients in one year may apply again in subsequent years.
Richard A. Guinta is an alumnus (1969) of the John Carroll University Department of Mathematics. In recognition of the struggle for many of his peers to afford a JCU education, he has created this scholarship in the memory of his parents to aid present-day students who face the same struggle.
Current mathematics, computer science, or data science majors at John Carroll who demonstrates both outstanding academic performance and financial need are eligible to apply for a Guinta Scholarship. Awards up to $10,000 are made in the spring of each year and apply to the student’s financial aid package for the following academic year. Awards are for one year only, but recipients in one year may apply again in subsequent years.
