Apply for a summer basic scholarship by March 16
Even though it’s still dark and cold, we have summer on our minds here at Doyon Foundation – summer scholarships, that is!
Our summer basic scholarship application period is now open, and students planning to attend classes this summer are encouraged to apply online. Applications must be received by Monday, March 16 at 11:59 p.m. Remember that our basic scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so get your application in early!
Part-time students are eligible to receive an $800 basic scholarship and full-time students can receive a $1,200 basic scholarship. Students can be studying a wide range of fields, including vocational areas of study.
To be eligible for a Doyon Foundation scholarship, you must:
- Be enrolled to Doyon, Limited or be the child of an original enrollee
- Be accepted to an accredited college, university, technical or vocational school
- Meet our minimum GPA requirements
- Be enrolled in the required minimum number of credits
To apply for a summer basic scholarship, you will need to submit:
- Basic scholarship online application
- Proof of academic enrollment (summer class schedule, plus document showing current degree program and field of study)
- Transcripts
Remember, official transcripts only need to be submitted once per academic year (which runs August through July). That means:
- If you didn’t receive a spring 2020 scholarship, then you need to submit official transcripts by the March 16
- If you’re a “returning” student (meaning you received a fall 2019 and spring 2020 scholarship), you can submit unofficial transcripts. We know you won’t have transcripts for the spring semester by March 16, so the deadline for you to submit them is May 13, 2020.
Be sure to log in to your student account before the scholarship application deadline to check that you have submitted all the required materials.
