Welcome, Scholars!

Scholarship Distribution Schedule August 2024-July 2025

Thursday, August 1, 2024: Begin Distributing Fall Semester payments for Classes of 2023 (3rd payment) and 2024 (1st payment)

Thursday, January 2, 2025: Begin Distributing Spring Semester Payments for Class of 2024 (2nd payment)

Friday, February, 14, 2025

Note: Scholars are expected to complete at least 12 credit hours per term and maintain a minimum C average per term, verified through unofficial transcripts sent from their college email.  Otherwise, scholars are given a grace period to improve college success considering their special circumstances. A payment may be deferred a term, based on a solution with supports and encouragement in place. Scholars still qualify to receive $1,500 total, but over four semesters instead of three. If needed, we can personally advise scholars for college and career goals and help seek counselors, mentors, and additional resources.
