When are applications due?
The required essay and high school transcript can be submitted to the Administrator immediately. Application form should be completed when financial information is available and at least three weeks prior to the first tuition due date.
How will I know my application has been accepted?
You will receive an acceptance letter from the Administrator that will include the specifics of the scholarship. This will be sent via email.
What does the SAEF Scholarship include?
The SAEF Scholarship includes tuition, fees, on-campus housing and meal plan, and books/supplies.
Does the SAEF Scholarship include off-campus housing?
Yes. If the student decides to live in off-campus housing, costs will be reviewed by the Administrator and amounts will be negotiated with students. 100% of costs may not be covered. Please contact the Administrator for more details.
Whose responsibility is it to ensure tuition and housing are paid on time?
This is the student’s responsibility. Students need to ensure the accuracy of charges on their school account and to inform the Administrator when tuition is due.
How is tuition paid?
Students will provide due dates to the Administrator. The Administrator will need third party access to your school account and will pay tuition online using echecks. This process eliminates having checks lost in the mail and provides immediate payment on your account.
How are books paid?
Students must initially pay for all required books and send a copy of receipt(s) to the Administrator to be reimbursed.
Can I apply if I will be a part-time student?
Yes. Typically, colleges consider 12 or more credit hours as full-time. If you decide to take fewer credit hours, tuition/fees/books will be paid at full cost. Housing and meals will be paid proportionally based on part-time credit hours to full-time credit hours.
Am I required to send my grades to the Administrator?
Yes. Once final grades are posted, students are required to send a copy of their grades to the Administrator via email. This should be done automatically at the end of each quarter/semester.
