Scholarship Applications
Each scholarship has limited funding. Scholarship applications submitted by the MVCS Preferred Filing Date of March 1, 2010 will be given first consideration from the available funds, and we'll announce the awards by April 2010.
There are three steps that need to be completed before being considered for any kind of scholarship. It is important that you complete every step by March 1. If one of the steps is missing, your application will be placed on hold until all forms have been turned in.
These are the steps for applying for scholarships:
No application will be considered until ALL three steps have been completed.
