Collecting Your Scholarship Award

Once you are selected as a recipient for a scholarship award, you will need to submit several documents to claim your award payment. Scholarship awards are generally made in one installment. However, if the total award is equal to or greater than $3,000, your award will be divided into multiple payments. Please see below for the proper documentation to submit.
