WHAT SHOULD I HAVE READY WHEN I APPLY?
WHAT KINDS OF SCHOLARSHIPS MIGHT I BE ELIGIBLE FOR?
SHOULD I BE AWARE OF SCHOLARSHIPS SCAMS?
Yes鈥攊f you have to pay money to get money, it鈥檚 probably a scam. Every year, several hundred thousand students and parents are defrauded by scholarship scams. The victims of these scams lose more than $100 million annually. Scam operations often imitate legitimate government agencies, grant-giving foundations, education lenders and scholarship matching services, using official-sounding names containing words like 鈥淣ational,鈥 鈥淔ederal,鈥 鈥淔oundation,鈥 or 鈥淎dministration.鈥 In general, be wary of scholarships with an application fee, scholarship matching services who guarantee success, advance-fee loan scams and sales pitches disguised as “financial aid seminars.鈥
Donor-funded scholarships are a great and lasting statement of your belief in a University of St. Francis education and our mission to prepare students for lives of leadership and service. Two types of scholarships鈥攁nnual and endowed鈥攃an be established at 澳门彩开奖.
Endowed Scholarships:听Endowed scholarships are designed to be permanent and live in perpetuity. They can be created with gifts totaling a minimum amount of $25,000. The principal of the fund is invested to produce income, and an annual award is made to a student or students. The principal remains untouched, so the endowment can last into perpetuity.
Annual Scholarships:听Annual scholarships can be established with a commitment of $5,000 over five years. Annual scholarships are not a permanent fund and is awarded only as long as funds are available.
