Apply for a scholarship

The 2023 scholarship season has recently concluded. We are currently in the process of updating our applications and scholarship funds.  

The 2024 scholarship applications will be available in December.

2023 Scholarship Recipients: Claim your scholarship through the follow up here.

• Follow ups received by July 1, 2023 ensure that your award will promptly be submitted to your college or university.
• Your scholarship award(s) will be distributed equally between first and second semesters.
• Scholarships must be used for tuition only.

       What if I don’t complete my follow up form by July 1st?

• Forms can still be submitted; however, the college/university may not receive this in time for your first payment due date.
• If you need to defer your scholarship for another semester or for up to one year, you need to contact Megan Havrilla DeHoog. These situations are handled on a case-by-case basis. A follow up will still need to be submitted. 
• If your gap in funding is less than your awarded scholarship amount, contact Megan Havrilla DeHoog. You may need to defer your scholarship to avoid displacement. 
• Scholarships must be claimed or deferred by October 31st of the awarded year or the scholarship will no longer be available.

If you have additional questions about scholarships, please email Megan Havrilla DeHoog at mdehoog@c3f.org.
