Foundation Scholarship Confirmation Form

Please fill out the following form to accept or to decline scholarship offer.

* Required

Follow the directions in your notification email to access your Scholarship Name and Scholarship ID#, before you start your confirmation form. If you have been offered more than one scholarship, you must complete a separate confirmation for each scholarship. If you do not include the correct scholarship name and ID# on your confirmation, it will not be accepted. 

Scholarships may be used at Lane Community College and are not transferable to any other institution. Enrollment required for each scholarship and eligibility will be verified each term before any awards are made. Most scholarships require full-time enrollment. There are no scholarships available for students enrolled less than part-time.
Will you be a student at Lane Community College in the fall?:
I understand I must successfully complete the enrollment requirement(s) listed next to my scholarship name and ID# to maintain my scholarship. Students who do not enroll at Lane in fall term will no longer be eligible for their scholarship. Some scholarships are dependent on acceptance into a specific program. I must also maintain a minimum 2.0 or higher grade point average for each term and maintain satisfactory academic progress to maintain the scholarship.  I understand that some donors will want to meet their recipient/s either at a Foundation event or in a personal meeting arranged by Foundation staff (you will be notified well in advance of such an event/meeting). If you cannot participate in such an event/meeting when requested, please discuss your personal situation with the Foundation's Scholarship Coordinator.

General guidelines for Scholarship Donor Paragraphs

Students who are offered a scholarship are required to write two paragraphs which we will forward to their scholarship donors. You can write up to 170-200 words per paragraph, but there is an expectation that each paragraph is written thoughtfully and honors the special gift this scholarship represents. We may ask students to submit a new confirmation when either paragraph response consists of a minimal 1-3 sentences.

Each paragraph should be written with no line breaks. Do not include the name of the scholarship in the paragraph or reference the name of a donor. There is a place to enter the Scholarship Name and ID# in the boxes at the top of this confirmation form.

Your scholarship is possible because someone cares about your education and your dreams for the future. Include a statement thanking your donor for the scholarship. Let them know why this scholarship is important to you and your education. Tell them how your opportunity to attend college has affected your life and your family. 
Tell the donor about yourself and your program of study. State your future career plans and goals and how you will use your education/degree (go to work immediately after graduation or transfer to a university, etc.).

Optional Volunteer Opportunities

Scholarship recipients often ask what they can do to express their gratitude for the financial support and generosity they have received. The Foundation welcomes students to help us with some of our special activities. We will contact you during the year to let you know what volunteer opportunities are available. An hour or more of your time can make a big difference. Thank you!
