Private Scholarships
Private Scholarship
Private scholarships are not directly related to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. Information regarding private scholarships can usually be found from your high school guidance counselor, local civic organizations, church groups, or your employer.
Ensure Accurate Delivery of Funds
- Make the check payable to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ.
- If the check is made out to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ and the student, the student must sign the back of the check.
- Put the student’s full name and Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ student ID on the memo line.
- Scholarships are automatically split in half between the fall and spring semesters unless otherwise stated in the scholarship letter.
- Return Policy
- Once the student notifies Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ that they are not attending, we will submit a check request to Accounts Payable to have the scholarship amount sent back to the donor.
- At the beginning of each semester, we will run a list of all private scholarships that have not paid out and will review each student account to see if they ever enrolled. If they did not, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ will begin the check request process. For questions, contact Michael Rigsby.
- In order for us to return the funds to a donor, the donor must be set up as a vendor with Accounts Payable. Because of this, a W9 may be requested from the donor before the check request can be processed. For questions, contact Crystal Abernathy.
