Description
The $7,500 scholarship will be disbursed in four equal payments of $1,875 per semester. Students must be enrolled full time at the senior institution. If the student attends an institution that operates on other than a semester basis, the equivalent institutional definitions will prevail.
The first payment of $1,875 will be disbursed once the student provides documentation of full-time enrollment at a regionally accredited senior institution and submits a final copy of official transcripts from the community college.
After the first payment, remaining payments will be disbursed once the student 1) provides documentation of continued full-time enrollment at a regionally accredited senior institution and 2) has successfully maintained a minimum cumulative GPA requirement. Scholars must maintain a 2.75 cumulative grade point average out of a possible 4.0 during the first semester of the first year and a 3.00 cumulative grade point average during each of the following semesters. Any course for which a grade of "Incomplete" that is recorded must be completed before any disbursements can be made.
