Scholarship Agreement

Scholarship Agreement

I understand the scholarship funds will be paid directly to the educational institution I am attending and that I will not receive a direct monetary award under any circumstances.

I understand my scholarship will be awarded based on the quarter(s) I plan to attend in the next academic year. Funds will not be disbursed in one lump sum, except for transfer scholarships. [South Foundation scholarships are up to $1500 per quarter.]

I understand that my scholarship will be prorated if I enroll in less than the minimum of 9 credits each quarter and will forfeit funds unused due to proration of scholarship(s) [see "How to Accept and Receive Scholarships" - Enrollment Requirement for Awarding Scholarships for proration]

I will not receive any funds for quarters I do not attend, and I cannot combine scholarships per quarter.

I understand my scholarship can be used to pay for educational expenses for the 2023-24 academic year. This includes anything beyond tuition and fees - books, supplies, etc. [South Foundation scholarships are for tuition, fees, and books ONLY.]

I understand that my award must be used within the 2023-24 academic year awarded and cannot be transferred to another academic year.

I understand that my award cannot be used to pay past educational expenses/debt nor Prior Leaning Credits (PLA).

I understand that it is my responsibility to confirm the scholarship has been credited to my student account, and I will pay any remaining balance before the payment deadline.

I understand that I must notify the Foundation of any changes to my enrollment status while I am receiving Foundation scholarship funds. I understand these changes will impact my scholarship status. (Includes transferring from one Seattle college to another and any changes to my selected quarters.)

I accept responsibility for maintaining a satisfactory academic record each quarter.

Should I fail to maintain the GPA requirement, I understand my scholarship will be terminated.

I give my consent to release any information about my academic progress to scholarship donors.

I give the college and Foundation permission to use my name and/or picture for publicity purposes and to generate awareness of my scholarship award.

I agree to upload a typed and signed thank you letter. I understand this letter will be used to share with the donors, Seattle Colleges Foundation Board of Directors, South Seattle College Foundation Board of Directors who made my scholarship possible.
