APSU extends scholarship deadlines during COVID-19 pandemic
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. 鈥 In a typical year, it might be too late for incoming fall 2020 freshmen at Austin Peay State University to apply for scholarships, but this is no typical year. With the new coronavirus pandemic disrupting high school seniors鈥 lives, Austin Peay鈥檚 admissions office decided to give incoming students more time to apply for three academic scholarships.
鈥淲e are still accepting freshman, transfer and out-of-state scholarship applications, and we are awarding them on a rolling basis,鈥 Amy Corlew, APSU director of admissions, said. 鈥淲e have already pushed our deadlines back, and we will continue to award scholarships through the summer.鈥

In the months before the coronavirus pandemic, hundreds of high school students visited Austin Peay each day to take campus tours. The growing number of prospective students even led the University to reclassify a position in 2018 to handle the tours. Now, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention鈥檚 (CDC) guidelines for social distancing limiting such interactions, the APSU 狐狸视频 Office is being more creative in showing off what campus has to offer.
Instead of hosting large student groups on campus, admissions counselors are setting up live virtual tours. Anyone interested in a virtual tour can make an appointment at . Once an appointment is made, counselors will use Zoom video conferencing software and screen sharing to guide prospective APSU students through the University鈥檚 virtual tour.
