Application Process for Scholarships & Tuition Awards

There are no separate scholarship or tuition award application forms. Applicants must submit all required materials for each scholarship and award. We recommend submitting all materials together to give you assurance that your application/s is/are complete, as receipt of materials may not be confirmed until after March 15, 2010, due to the large volume received.

Notification of awards begins April 1, 2010, and continues through July 31, 2010.

It is possible that you might submit your scholarship and tuition award packets before you submit an admissions application. However, to be eligible for a scholarship or tuition award, you must be offered admission to the college or currently enrolled. Therefore, it is critical that new students complete the application for admission prior to March 1, 2010.

Steps to take to apply for 2010-2011 Scholarships and Tuition Awards:

1. Compose a letter of application that includes:
   -Your name
   -Student identification number (if assigned)
   -Current addresses
   -Name of the specific scholarship or tuition award for which you are applying.
   
   Example of the information you should include:
   

   The Evergreen Foundation Scholarship
   Jane Doe
   A0000000 (Student ID number, if assigned)
   Address
   Email address

   The letter of application should address your talents, achievements and needs as they relate to that scholarship/tuition award.

2. Include all letters of recommendation required for each packet. These letters should support the talents, achievements and needs discussed in your letter of application, and they should be no more than one year old. Letters of recommendation are not confidential.
3. When transcripts are required, follow the guidelines below. Unofficial academic transcripts may be submitted for scholarship purposes.
   A) New students with fewer than 40 transferable credits should submit high school transcripts, as well as college transcripts.
   B) Transfer students with 40 or more transferable credits should submit transcripts from all previous colleges.
   C) Currently enrolled Evergreen students should submit copies of Evergreen evaluations. If you do not have copies of your evaluations, you can request copies from the Registration and Records Office. Allow 10 days for processing. Unofficial academic transcripts may be submitted for scholarship purposes. The Admissions Office, however, requires official copies.
   
4. If demonstrated financial need is part of the selection criteria, you must apply for financial aid for the 2010-11 academic year. Submit the 2010-11 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) via the secure web site or by mail or no later than February 15, 2010, in order that information may be received by Evergreen's Financial Aid Office by March 15, 2010.
   
   Please do not submit a copy of the financial aid application along with your scholarship application. If you meet the deadline above, the scholarship committees will receive information from Evergreen's Financial Aid Office.
   
   
5. If you submit a portfolio as part of the application process, please submit copies or photographs. Do not submit originals of your work. The college cannot assume liability for damaged or lost work.
   
6. Submitted application packets become the property of the college, with the exception of portfolio materials, tapes, CDs and videos. Please retrieve portfolio materials no later than October 15, 2010.
