All scholarship applicants should review the below policies prior to applying for scholarship assistance.
Timeline
Scholarship applications are due within 48 HOURS of your initial course application request.
After 48 hours we will release your spot on course to other applicants.
One week from receiving your Scholarship Application we will send you a Scholarship Award Agreement, notifying you of your scholarship award amount.
If you are not eligible for assistance you will receive $0 award.
You must return your Scholarship Award Agreement to formally accept or decline your award within 1 WEEK, even if you receive a $0 award.
After 1 WEEK your $100 application fee becomes non-refundable and we will release your spot on course to other applicants.
If you accept, you must pay the $400 deposit or, if your course begins in less than 60 days, pay the balance of your tuition. Upon accepting a scholarship award, the $100 application fee becomes non-refundable.
If you don't get enough to attend, or if you are not eligible (receive a $0 award), you must still return the Scholarship Award Agreement within 1 WEEK, indicate that the award was not enough and you will receive your $100 Application Fee back.
If you get what you requested but do not attend, it is considered a cancellation, you are subject to our Cancellation Policies and will not get your $100 back.

Sponsor Letters – Every scholarship student is required to write a thoughtful letter to the donor of their scholarship expressing thanks for the opportunity to attend. Your instructors will set aside time at course end to complete the letter on the last day of course.
