Community Scholarships -Timeline and Information

Timeline for Community Scholarship Award Cycle

Due to delays with the FAFSA and receiving your FAFSA Student Aid Index (SAI) Report, there has been an update to the Community Scholarship application. If you are having an issue with the FAFSA SAI Report, in the Financial Information Section of the application you will need to choose the option that best reflects the status of your FAFSA SAI report.  There is now an option to select "Pending" that will allow you to submit your application without this information. If you have your information at this time, enter it into your application before you submit it. 

NOTE: To be considered for any scholarships with financial need as one of the criteria or as a consideration, you must complete the Financial Need essay question. This will be especially important if you don't have your FAFSA SAI Report and Number.

This table provides an overview of opportunities available. Answer every question on the application in order to be offered applications for which you are eligible.
