Scholarship Application, 2027–28

Bellweather College Foundation · Room A-208 · ext. 2290

One application covers all Foundation awards. Applicants are considered for every award for which they meet the criteria; there is no separate application for a named fund. There is no charge to apply. The Rexford Julle Fund for Student Research is administered separately by the Office of Applied Studies and is not part of this application.

Dates

Who may apply

Current students and applicants who have been admitted to the College for the 2027–28 academic year. An admitted applicant may apply before enrolling; an award is credited only on enrollment. Some awards are limited to students in a particular program, division, or year; the criteria are listed with each award on the Scholarships page.

The application

1. Program of study and expected enrollment for 2027–28
2. School and employment record
3. A written statement of 500 words or fewer on the applicant’s educational and work goals
4. One reference from an instructor, employer, or supervisor (optional)

A FAFSA is not required to apply. Where a fund agreement provides for financial need, need is determined from the FAFSA on file with the Office of Financial Aid, and an applicant without a FAFSA is not considered for that fund. Applications are not accepted by email. An applicant who needs the application in another format or needs assistance completing it may contact the Foundation office or Disability Services, Room A-134, ext. 2144.

Selection

Awards are selected by the Foundation Scholarship Committee, except where the fund agreement assigns selection to program or division faculty or to a coach. Field practicum fellowships are selected by program faculty; see Fellowships. Selection decisions are final and are not appealable. Applicants who do not receive an award are notified by April 15.

After an award

Awards are reported to the Office of Financial Aid and are included in the student’s aid offer. Federal rules require that total aid not exceed the cost of attendance, and an award may therefore reduce a loan or other aid already offered. Awards require continued enrollment and satisfactory academic progress. Unless the fund agreement states otherwise, awards are not renewable automatically and require reapplication.
