We are pleased to announce a special, one-time $500 Grant for the Fall term, in response to rising costs in gas, transportation, books, food, and housing adding pressure to completing your degree.
To receive this Fall grant, you must meet all 3 of the following mandatory requirements:
1. Complete all questions on your Scholar Survey by June 1
Reminder: Track the completion status of your Scholar Survey and directly access your unique link in your ISTS Scholar Portal. Log in and find the link to “Your Commitments Hub” under the Program Summary.
2. Complete your Renewal Form by June 22
Reminder: Renewals go live on June 1 in your ISTS Scholar Portal.
3. Successfully renew your scholarship and enroll in classes this Fall
Reminder: You must qualify for in-state tuition if enrolling in a public university or college
Grants will be disbursed to your Partner College through the Fall Enrollment Verification Report process and will be released to you in full in the second half of the term. Note for National Scholars: this grant is in addition to your stipend.
Like waves in the ocean, policies, challenges, and external circumstances may shift. But what remains constant is the power of education. For many, higher education is a pathway to success and a great equalizer. For you as a Scholar, your Partner College is also a place where you can grow, feel supported, and know that you belong.
Know that you are not alone and that we are with you!
Fill out your mandatory Scholar Survey and submit your Renewal on time.
