When will monetary awards be provided?

Monetary awards are mailed once proof of enrollment is received from the recipient. If you are planning to use the award towards tuition for the upcoming semester, please be advised that it can take up to 2 - 3 weeks to receive the award once proof of enrollment is received from you. It is important to make plans around tuition accordingly.

What is proof of enrollment?

Every scholarship recipient is required to show proof that they will be matriculating as a full-time student. The same applies to those scholars going on to graduate school. Proof of enrollment can take the form of a letter from the registrar or receipt/confirmation of your online registration from your school. It must include your name, listing of courses for the fall semester, and an indication that it is from your school’s official website.

Are scholarship awards made payable to the student or the school?

Awards are made payable to the scholarship recipient unless otherwise requested.
