Courses SLU Will Consider for Scholarships

Typically these are courses offered as part of established master’s and doctoral degrees in the specific discipline/interdisciplinary area.

Courses in related disciplines, and courses focused specifically on the teaching of the disciplinary/ interdisciplinary academic content of the respective 1818 course(s), may be considered per the discretion of the appropriate SLU academic department.
