Steven H. and Bobby J. Jensen Living Trust Scholarship

(Since 2018)

DESCRIPTION OF SCHOLARSHIP

The Steven H. and Bobby J. Jensen Living Trust Scholarship is a scholarship granted to one graduate student and one undergraduate student in the Department of Kinesiology at San José State University every year. Students may be continuing students or new applicants, and must be full time students for the academic year in which the scholarship is awarded.

This scholarship is intended to support student participation in scholarly research activities that add to students’ professional development and growth of knowledge in the field of human physiology with clinical and medical applications. The applicants must provide a clear description of research engagement and activity with a faculty member, explaining how it adds to his/her scholarly development in their education.

The scholarship is $500 for one graduate and $500 for one undergraduate student. The scholarship will be advertised on an annual basis with the announcement made in Spring semester (application due on first Friday of April) and the scholarship will be given in the Fall semester.

For full consideration the application packet must include: 1) a completed application form, 2) one copy of all college transcripts, 3) one letter of recommendation, 4) a cover letter, 5) a personal statement.

Selection of the scholarship recipients will be based on merit according to the following considerations:

  • Cumulative grade point average (GPA) minimum 3.5 (last 60 units)
  • Commitment to contribute time and effort to the proposed research under the supervision of a faculty member
  • Involvement in research of physiological, clinical, and/or medical fields
  • Engagement of research and professional development in the area of students’ career in advanced degree (e.g., PT, OT, MS, or PhD).

Scholarship recipients will be determined by a committee of faculty from the Department of Kinesiology.
