(Interviews will not be granted until all admissions requirements are met--SEE list below).
Getting started:
The IUE scholarship priority deadline is March 1, 2008. Students must first be admitted to UMKC prior to being accepted into the Institute for Urban Education. The UMKC's admissions office processes admissions application as they are received. Please note it may take up 4-6weeks to be accepted into UMKC. Once the student is admitted, the information is shared with the IUE office.
It is recommended you submit your personal statement, IUE application and references at the same time you submit your UMKC application.
1. UMKC Application: University of Missouri-Kansas City application for admissions and required credentials (if not already admitted to UMKC). Application available at: http://www.umkc.edu/admissions/. A $35 application fee payable to UMKC is required of students not already admitted to UMKC. Please be sure to check on the admissions application that you are applying to the Institute for Urban Education. For questions concerning your UMKC application, please contact the admissions office.
