Existing/Returning Students

Existing/Returning students will have the opportunity to apply for Foundation scholarships online during open application periods offered prior to each term.

Students active in the system may apply for Foundation scholarships online prior to each term.  The yellow apply button will be accessible on this page during open application periods.  The Foundation utilizes a general application process where applicants complete a one-page application online form. The system will then utilize the applicant's student record and match the applicant to all opportunities for which the applicant would be eligible.  The system also offers a second level of scholarships that requires applicants to submit additional information that is not contained within student records. These opportunities are designated as "Apply To" opportunities. 

Please visit the Application Procedures page to learn how the system works and to begin applying for scholarships.
