Only the Foundation’s Faculty Representative at your two-year college can nominate students. Faculty Representatives verify the applicant's eligibility and academic status, and are responsible for the complete and timely submission of the online nomination and all supporting documents by the deadline.
Applicants are requested to submit an online application and the required copies of supporting documents. The applicants should coordinate their efforts with the faculty representative to ensure that the complete nomination is submitted and supporting documents package is received no later than January 26, 2010. Faculty representatives must submit supporting documents in one packet, directly to the Foundation’s processing center.
Students may not apply directly to the Foundation for this scholarship. All applicants for the Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship Program must be nominated by the Foundation’s Faculty Representative at their two-year institutions.
