    TAP Scholarship Timeline

    Scholarship application deadline is earlier so that TAP students receive their awards BEFORE classes start.

    Process:

    1. Applicant completes online scholarship application form. Deadline: September 15th
    2. TAP program mails scholarship award letter to recipients. Letter shows amount of scholarship(s) and any tuition remainder the applicant must pay. Deadline: October 1st.
    3. Applicant completes online enrollment form and pays enrollment fee and any tuition remainder stated in the scholarship award letter. Deadline: October 15th.

    Note: scholarship winners will not receive checks.  Instead, the scholarship award amount(s) will be deducted from their tuition.
