Helpful Information
Current College Students
Several of our scholarship funds offer students the opportunity to receive awards for two to four years of college, depending on the fund. Awards to post-high school students tend to be more generous. Don’t forget to reapply each year! The deadline is March 1.
Notification of a Scholarship Award
Students who are selected to receive a scholarship award will be invited, along with their guests, to the Foundation Scholarship Celebration in May. Awardees will also be announced at each high school awards event in May.
By mid-June, every recipient should have received a congratulations letter with a Grant Agreement. Students who do not receive awards will not be notified. Contact our office if you have questions or concerns.
Your Next Step
The Foundation must receive a signed Grant Agreement and Proof of Enrollment from you before any funds are released to your college. Scholarship funds are for tuition, books, and fees only.
Claim your scholarship by returning the following two items to our office before October 1.
- A signed and dated Grant Agreement – given or mailed to you from the Foundation
- Proof of college enrollment – Valid documents: a current unpaid invoice OR a copy of your class schedule for the upcoming semester
Avoid Cancellation
If you do not need to use your scholarship award for the Fall Semester, contact our office as soon as possible.
The Foundation is willing to hold your award for the second semester, or even the following year, but you must contact our office by October 1 with an explanation of your plan for using the funds.
Unclaimed awards will be cancelled on October 15 of the award year. The Foundation will send reminders by email, but it is the student’s responsibility to claim the award by returning the required documents before the October 15 deadline.
