Instructions for how to claim each scholarship award
will be printed in the letter you will receive during the Scholarship Night Program.
The name and address of your scholarship sponsor will also be provided in the letter.
The Whitewater High School Scholarship Program is a reimbursable system.
Payments will be made after you send proper documentation to the scholarship contact person.
In most cases, scholarship money is provided after the student has enrolled in school.
Students must ask the college or university registrar to send appropriate notification for payment
to the scholarship contact person promptly.
Organizations often ask for “proof of enrollment” during the first or second semester.
Some scholarship sponsors may ask for “successful completion of the first semester”
and “proof of enrollment” in second-semester classes.
If this is the case, you will need to provide a transcript of first-semester grades
and a document from the registrar stating proof of enrollment in the second semester.
The scholarship contact person notifies the sponsoring organization that payment can be made
after the required information is received. It is the responsibility of the organization to provide the money.
Whitewater High School is not obligated to cover the award if the organization does not have funds to pay for the scholarship.
Recipients must provide the appropriate documentation within one year of Scholarship Night to claim their scholarship money.
