2009 SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION & GUIDELINES
The Fairfield County Foundation invites scholarship applications for the coming academic year. Unless stated otherwise, scholarship applications must be received by the deadline date. Please check each scholarship as deadline dates are different.
- Complete answers to every question.
If the question does not apply, write "not applicable" or N/A as appropriate.
- Type or fill out the application in ink (PRINT).
- Do not write in pencil.
- We will not accept late applications or applications by fax or E-mail.
- Do not send applications in plastic folders.
- Detach this cover letter before submitting your application.
- Send application and all required attachments together.
- We will not accept anything mailed separately or after the deadline date.
Our scholarships are based on field of study, merit, financial need and community involvement. Decisions are final and will be announced in late July. Awards will only be paid to the schools with a fee bill showing a balance due, not to individuals or bookstores (Except for the Ed Sands Scholarship). Scholarships are for tuition only and for accredited schools.
Eligibility Criteria:
1 SAR Form (to establish financial need): All applicants must complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and submit a copy of the print summary of your Student Aid Report (SAR). A print summary includes the following: EFC (estimated family contribution), adjusted gross income, school year, name & social security number of applicant. FAFSA application can be found at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
We recommend that you file the FAFSA by February 15th so you will have the SAR in time to submit with your scholarship application.
2 Every scholarship is different. Please check the list of available scholarships to make sure that you meet the criteria and different requirements of the scholarship(s) which you are applying and the deadline dates.
3 The Fairfield County Foundation requires an application form for each scholarship which you are applying. Make sure that you read the required attachments for each scholarship; certain scholarships require additional information and have different deadline dates.
4 Make a copy to keep for your records.
