To successfully complete your scholarship application, please ensure that your profile is fully updated to reach a total of 100 points, as this is a mandatory requirement for eligibility. Please be advised that our administrative processing cannot commence until we have received your completed Financial Aid Worksheet (FAW). These worksheets are typically submitted to us throughout May and, in some cases, continue to arrive through early June. We appreciate your patience during this period, as our team requires these documents to be on file before we can proceed with the review and verification of your application.
