College Scholarship Program FAQs

The awarding process takes place over the summer and sometimes goes into the school year. Current recipients who have applied to renew their scholarships have first consideration. When the renewal process is complete, we’ll then know what is available for distribution to new applicants. Awarding begins around the first of the summer and goes on until all the money has been distributed.
Our application system software uses an email address to create a unique user login experience for each applicant. In order to keep your application from getting confused with those of other or past applicants, it is important to use a unique email when signing up for an application account. If you need an email address and do not currently have one, please consider the many free email services available, such as Gmail by Google, Yahoo! Mail, Outlook by Microsoft, Mail.com, and many others.
