FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 12, 2008
QVCC SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION AVAILABLE ONLINE
Information on approximately 40 scholarships available to current
and prospective Quinebaug Valley Community College students is available on
the College’s web site.
By going online, students can get the criteria for each scholarship, learn how to apply, and download a scholarship application.
Scholarships and awards are presented in May of each year to continuing and graduating students whose academic achievement and/or service to the College merit special recognition. Several scholarships are also available for new students who have recently graduated or will be graduating from high school in the spring and plan on enrolling at QVCC in the fall.
Individual donors, local businesses, student organizations, and the Quinebaug Valley Community College Foundation provide funding for these scholarships. A College Scholarship Committee reviews submitted applications in April to select the scholarship recipients. Last year over $40,000 in scholarship money was awarded.
The Financial Aid Office recommends that students allow enough time to produce an application which will make a favorable impression, and to be able to collect the letters of recommendation that are required. Applications and assistance are available at the Learning & Student Development Office in Danielson, the front desk in Willimantic, and online. Deadline for applications is April 7, 2008. For more information, call the Financial Aid Office at (860) 412-7210 visit www.qvcc.commnet.edu/finaid/listings.html
