Renewal Requirements

Be sure to read and comply with the Scholarship Renewal and Retention policy. Remember, for those eligible to renew their scholarships all paperwork must be received by July 1. If you do not not provide paperwork by July 1, you will forfeit your fall check. If your paperwork is not received by the fall check pick up deadline, you will forfeit the remainder of your scholarship. We cannot make exceptions, so please stay on top of this deadline. We know you need this money and would be very unhappy if we were not able to give it to you.

Fall Check Pickup Up Starts 8/1/2024...

... for those students who have met renewal requirements and deadlines.

Returning Students. All renewal paperwork (except fall schedules, which must be uploaded into our scholarship portal before picking up your check) is due by July 1. This is a firm deadline, and if you miss it, you will forfeit your Fall check. If, by the September check cut off date, you have not completed your paperwork, you will forfeit all remaining payments for your award. Requirements are listed in each letter accompanying your last check. For Fall check pick up, you need to provide:

• The signed copy of your receipt of your last Spring check. This is to be uploaded into our web portal within 10 days of receipt unless you acknowledged the check at the time of pick up and we have a copy on file. If you have not already turned this in, you must do so.
• A copy of your grades from the Spring semester showing SEMESTER and CUMULATIVE grades and credits.
• Your new FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS). You need to upload a printed copy of your FSS, not simply the application receipt showing your SAI.
• A copy of your new financial aid award letter from your school.
• A copy of your schedule for the upcoming Fall semester, showing that you are registered for at least 12 credits. (This and only this may be presented when you pick up your check.)

New Students. Before we can release your check, we must have:

• Any updated paperwork, such as school changes and any new or revised school or local financial aid award letters. Submit as soon as you receive them. No award or award amount is final until we have received and reviewed your final financial aid letter for the school you will attend.
• Your signed scholarship contract. This is a signed copy of your scholarship award letter.
• Your class schedule for the upcoming Fall semester.
• Your college information and email address, as soon as you have one updated in our web portal.

Spring Check Pickup Up Starts 12/26/2024...

...for those who have provided the following before or at check pick up:

• The signed copy of your receipt of your Fall check. This was to be acknowledged in our web port within 10 days of receipt.
• A copy of your grades from the Fall semester. Grade reports need to be uploaded into our web portal.
• A copy of your upcoming Spring schedule, showing that you are registered for at least 12 credits needs to be uploaded into our web portal. If you have any question about whether you will meet the academic requirements, be sure to contact our office as soon as possible.
  
  All Spring checks not picked up by February 1, 2025 will be forfeited. If we do not hear from you at all by January 17, 2025, you will forfeit ALL remaining amounts of your award, so be sure to contact us to update us on your situation, if for any reason you feel you may not be eligible for the Spring 2025 check. If you contact us, we may be able to put your future payments on hold, depending on your situation.
