Scholarship Continuation

Once selected, you will need to document that you have met minimum academic standards: a 2.75 cumulative GPA and progress made (i.e., credits earned) each semester. Failure to meet minimum academic standards for one semester will result in you being placed in a probationary status. Failure to maintain minimum academic standards for two consecutive semesters will result in the loss of your Scholarship.

Subject to the terms, conditions, and requirements of your Scholarship Agreement,, your Scholarship will provide up to two thousand five hundred ($2,500) dollars per semester (five thousand [$5,000] dollars per academic year)* OR up to the cost of tuition and other course-related fees per semester or academic year, whichever is less.*

The Foundation desires not just to fund tuition, but to create lasting relationships with each Scholarship recipient, help introduce you to a larger network of providers and potential employers, and to follow and be a part of your successes as a professional caregiver, a concept that is part of the Scholarship Agreement with each Scholarship recipient.

Continuation Documentation Required

1. Not less than 10 business days prior to the first day of each semester (federal holidays not included), we must receive an official transcript sent directly from the school to us. Unofficial transcripts and/or transcripts emailed from or from you are not allowed. It is the your responsibility to ensure allow ample time is allowed for the school to process the request for transcript, and for us to receive it by the deadline.

2. Not less than 10 business days prior to the first day of each semester (federal holidays not included), we must receive a Statement of Account or invoice, showing your current balance which includes itemized charges and credits for the upcoming semester (including credits you anticipate receiving). This may come directly from you via email or the Dropbox portal created for you to upload documents. It is your responsibility to ensure we receive it by the deadline.**

*For Scholarships awarded through the Lancaster County Lions Foundation (LCLF), the Maximum Scholarship amount is $12,000, up to three thousand ($3,000) dollars per semester (six thousand [$6,000] dollars per academic year)* OR up to the cost of tuition and other course-related fees per semester or academic year, whichever is less, for two Academic Years.

**Once awarded, you will review and sign a Scholarship Agreement, which contains all the definitions, terms, conditions, and requirements of your Scholarship.

Scholarship Renewal

Provided you have met (and continue to meet through the end of your Initial Scholarship) all other conditions and requirements in this Agreement, and subject to the relevant section(s) of your Scholarship Agreement, you may contact us to renew your Scholarship for another two Academic Years. Your Renewed Scholarship will be subject to the same terms, conditions, and requirements as your Initial Scholarship. If during your Initial Scholarship the total amount disbursed was less than the Maximum Scholarship, the difference will be added to the Maximum Scholarship available in your Renewed Scholarship.

You will NOT need to submit another application to renew your Scholarship.

Your Scholarship may only be renewed once.
