Can I choose the scholarships I want to apply to?2019-06-26T07:53:57-06:00

By completing the general application you will automatically be matched with a majority of the scholarship opportunities we offer. Once you submit the general application go to the opportunities tab and select “ours”. The scholarships that have an orange “apply” button next to them are scholarships you must take additional steps to apply and you can choose which ones to complete.

Scholarships are open twice a year and current deadlines can always be found at www.supportmadisoncollege.org/madison-college-foundation-scholarships

Do I have to complete a FAFSA?2024-03-21T12:34:12-06:00

A number of scholarships consider financial need as one of the selection criteria. In order to be considered for some need based scholarships you must complete a 2024-2025 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), if eligible.

NOT completing the FAFSA information will not affect your consideration for other scholarships.

Scholarships will be applied directly to student accounts approximately 2-3 weeks after the start of classes to students who have completed the required steps of the acceptance process.

Yes, it is a requirement to submit a thank you note to the donor for all scholarships before they are disbursed.

Do I need to notify Financial Aid about my award?2019-06-26T08:00:58-06:00

No, the Foundation works with the Financial Aid office so they are already aware of all Foundation awards.

What if I cannot enroll by the scholarship deadline?2021-05-20T13:04:10-06:00

If there are circumstances beyond your control, like petitioning for a program, please reach out to Ruth directly. We are happy to work with you and grant you as much time as possible to enroll. Even if we are able to give you extra time to enroll, your scholarship application must be submitted by the posted scholarship deadline.
