The application period for our summer 2021 basic scholarships is now open! Applications must be received by Monday, March 15 at 11:59 p.m. Students planning to attend classes this summer are encouraged to apply early as our basic scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Scholarship applications must be completed online at www.doyonfoundation.com.
The Doyon Foundation board of directors recently voted to increase scholarship award amounts. Part-time students are now eligible to receive a $1,600 basic scholarship and full-time students can receive a $2,400 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
View our scholarship resource handbook for full eligibility details.
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 2021 scholarship, then you need to submit official transcripts by the March 15 deadline.
- If you’re a “returning” student (meaning you received a fall 2020 and spring 2021 scholarship), you can submit unofficial transcripts. We know you won’t have transcripts for the spring semester by March 15, so the deadline for you to submit them is Monday, May 10, 2021.
Be sure to log in to your student account before the scholarship application deadline to check that you have submitted all the required materials.
