| Scholarship Check FAQ's |
| How do I get my scholarship check? |
To initiate the check disbursement process, the student must submit verification of full-time enrollment for each term to the Foundation in a timely manner, no later than the finals week for each term. This is usually in the form of a copy of the student's schedule of classes. The copy must clearly show the student's name, courses and units printed on it. Students must enroll in and complete a minimum of 12 units each term with a minimum 2.0 GPA or better in order to remain eligible for an award.

| How is the check processed and where is it sent? |
Scholarship checks are disbursed according to the college's academic calendar. If your school is on a semester schedule, the total scholarship award will be divided in two and one-half will be disbursed in the Fall and one-half will be disbursed in the Spring. If your school is on a quarter schedule, the total award will be divided in three and disbursed as one-third in each term. Payment of the scholarship award will be sent to the Financial Aid Office at your college. It will take up to 10 business days for the Foundation to send an award check after receiving proof of enrollment.
