Great - you've won a scholarship award. Now what??
District 883 Dollars for Scholars does not distribute funds until a disbursement request is made to our Treasurer (details below).
Checks are ALWAYS made payable and sent directly to the institution. Recipients who want to redeem their scholarship must provide the following:
- proof of registration to college; this could be a post-secondary institution tuition statement or confirmation of current full-time enrollment (final course schedule)
- a valid student ID# for the school they are attending
- the school's mailing address where tuition payments are sent
NOTE: for planning purposes, please understand that schools may automatically split the scholarship amount equally across 2 semesters in a single school year (instead of applying the entire scholarship amount to the next upcoming semester). We have no control over this. District 883 Dollars for Scholars scholarships EXPIRE on December 31 three years after they are awarded (i.e., 12/31/28 for the Class of 2025). Please redeem early to avoid forfeiting your award.
