May 15 is our biggest deadline of the year! This is the last day to apply for competitive and basic scholarships for the 2017 fall semester. If you or someone you know is planning to attend school this fall, you do not want to miss this deadline.
Here’s what’s up for grabs:
- Competitive scholarships ranging from $5,000 to $9,000
- $800 basic scholarships for part-time students
- $1,200 basic scholarships for full-time students
What’s the difference between the scholarships? Competitive scholarships are awarded through a competitive review process, while basic scholarships are awarded to all students who meet the eligibility guidelines and submit a completed application by the appropriate deadline. (Also, our basic scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to get your application in early!)
Good news for part-time students! Last fall, we lowered our part-time credit requirement from six credits to three credits. This means more students qualify for a basic scholarship!
Wondering if you are eligible? Applicants 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.
- Maintain a minimum GPA (see website for details).
- Be enrolled in a minimum number of credits (see website for details).
Ready to apply? Please note that scholarship applications are only accepted online. Here’s what you need to do:
- Create an account if you don’t already have one. It is highly recommended that students create an account at least two weeks prior to the application deadline, as the shareholder verification process can take up to three business days.
- Log in.
- After successfully logging on, click “students,” then select “Scholarship Apply/Review/Edit.”
- Pick a scholarship by clicking “apply now.”
