Frequently Asked Questions
Does my scholarship renew?
No, recipients must apply annually.
What if the assistance is insufficient?
If we receive notification that it is insufficient by the required date (as stated in the award letter), all monies paid for registration will be refunded.
How do you determine eligibility?
The adjusted gross income line of your tax form is the primary way. Because every family makes choices about how to manage expenses, we take these things into consideration on a case-by-case basis. However, if you have an unusual circumstance that you would like us to consider, please indicate that on your application.
Are extended payment plans available?
Yes, in conjunction with financial assistance or as a separate option. All installment payments must be made via autodraft (bank account or credit card).
What do I include in my submission?
Completed tax returns and W-2 forms along with the application should be sent to [email protected]. If you are applying for a program, please include registration confirmation.
