PLEASE NOTE that the Promise for Tomorrow Scholarship Committee will proportionately compare how many courses students indicated they intended to take in a prior year to the actual number of completed enrolled courses. The PFT Committee expects that all students will be as realistic as possible about their course projections on their applications. The PFT Committee commits funds to students based on financial need. Consideration of other sources of support is taken into account when determining awards.
Additionally, for any and all future reapplication scholarship assistance, the PFT Committee requests that students send a letter of explanation if they did not use any of the prior academic year’s scholarship award.
