Returning students must not have any current outstanding balances on their student account. *Students who have been approved to study at a 40%-course load as a full-time equivalent based on a disability will be considered for full-time awards.

Students receiving assistance will be required to repay funds awarded should they withdraw or be asked to withdraw from school. A student’s level of eligibility for assistance may be affected by continuing and/or external scholarships received. Deadlines The deadline to apply is June 1.
