Scholarship Guidelines

  • Scholarships are for tuition/books/program fees.
  • Scholarships are to be used when they are awarded—they will not carry over to the next term.
  • Students must be enrolled in a minimum of 5 credits for the full semester by the Pell Recalculation Date for that semester. Credits can be split between the two 8-week sessions any way you choose.
  • If you are fully funded from another source (e.g. employer, WIOA, Veterans benefits, etc.), your scholarship will be awarded to the next qualified student with unmet financial need.
