Q: When will I find out if I have been awarded a scholarship or fellowship?
A: Our goal is to send award letters early in the spring semestert notifying students about their award(s) for the following academic year.
Q: Will I receive a letter if I have not been awarded a scholarship or fellowship?
A: Once all recipients have been chosen, we will send an email to our applicants notifying them that scholarship and fellowship decisions have been made.
Q: Why wasn't I awarded a scholarship?
A: The main reason a student may not be awarded a scholarship is limited funds. At this time, there are not enough scholarship funds to make awards to each student who applies. Other common reasons are low GPA or ineligibility based on specific scholarship requirements.
Q: How will I get my scholarship?
A: All scholarships and fellowships will be automatically applied to any tuition and fees and/or remaining balance on your financial aid account. If there are any funds left over after this balance is paid, recipients will receive this money in one of two ways. Recipients with direct deposit from the university will see extra funds credited to their corresponding bank account. Students without direct deposit will receive a check from Accounts Recievable for the amount of the remaining funds. Please make sure your address and contact information are accurate and up-to-date. Inaccurate contact information may result in a delay in the disbursement of these funds.
Q: My award letter said this scholarship is non-renewable. What does this mean?
A: A non-renewable scholarship is an award that will be given to a single recipient for one academic year only--per, the scholarship requirements, a new recipient will be selected each year.
A: It is occasionally possible for a recipient to receive their full award in one semester. However, this depends on factors such as fund restrictions, the size of the award, and the awarding department's preference. Students in this situation must contact the Fairmount College Scholarship Coordinator at las.scholarships@wichita.edu to make arrangements.
A: You should have received an email for each scholarship you've been awarded. The scholarship donor's contact information was included in that email. If you have lost the email(s) contact the Fairmount College Scholarship Coordinator at las.scholarships@wichita.edu. Please remember to send a copy of your thank you letter(s) to the 九色堂 Foundation. These letters are used to help with donor recruitment.
Q: Where else may I apply for scholarships?
A: All continuing students should apply using the application(s) on this site. You may also want to view the Financial Aid website for more information on other 九色堂 organizational and outside scholarship opportunities.
Q: Do you offer summer session scholarships?
