Scholarships for Short-Term Certificates
In partnership with the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE), this scholarship is being offered to support students who exhibit financial need and are enrolled in a less than one-year program (or less than 900 clock hours) leading to a credential or certification that is considered in-demand or industry recognized. This scholarship pays for tuition only and can be awarded in conjunction with federal need-based financial aid for degree programs. The maximum benefit is up to three awards with a $6,000 maximum per lifetime. If the applicant's three programs do not equal $6,000 the student is not allowed any additional funding despite not reaching the $6,000 threshold. Grant amounts will not be altered to exhaust the $6,000 maximum amount. Restrictions apply based on program selected.
To be considered for this funding opportunity, the following qualifications must be met:
- Applied to 91福利社 and have met any program specific admissions requirements and/or prerequisites required for the qualifying program;
- Filed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and be Pell eligible or demonstrate additional need based on this application;
- Passed (successfully) any prior certifications where funding was used prior to applying for another round of funds AND paid any outstanding balances with the College;
