My child received the
David D. Alston Scholarship. Does he/she need to reapply next year?
Your child does not need to reapply
provided he or she has met the requirements for maintaining the
scholarship. However, your child must submit the required documentation
to initiate the payment process.
What type of Financial
Aid is deducted from the amount of Scholarship money allotted?
If your child receives a grant or
another scholarship not requiring repayment, that amount is deducted
from the school's educational costs and must be reported to the David D.
Alston Scholarship Fund. No funds for scholarship awards are released
until all documentation is received.
What happens if
textbooks cost more than what was allocated?
Receipts for required textbooks and
educational expenses may be submitted for additional reimbursement.
What if my
child withdraws from a class?
If the withdrawal results in
your child falling below the 12 credited hours required for full
time status, he/she will be terminated as a scholarship
recipient and educational expenses advanced for the semester
must be repaid to the scholarship fund. An exception for medical reasons may be requested in writing to the Board of Trustees with appropriate documentation. It is the student's
responsibility to notify the Scholarship Fund of a change in
school or dependency status.
What happens if
I prepay my child's tuition?
The David D. Alston Scholarship
Fund pays directly to the college or university. Prepayment is
not necessary and will not be reimbursed to you.
