Selection Process
Scholarship judges or scholarship selection committees review and score scholarship applications. Judges/committee members are composed of faculty, staff, and/or community representatives. Rating points are given to each applicant for the overall content and quality of their application, attention to spelling, grammar and punctuation, expression of academic goals, participation in extracurricular or community activities, and their responses to the essay questions. Selections are based on the applicant meeting the minimum scholarship criteria, and the points given by scholarship judges/selection committees.
Award Acceptance
Scholarship recipients are required to complete the acceptance steps through their Pirate Portal > Financial Aid & Scholarships folder > Financial Aid Requirements link.
Acceptance steps include the electronic signature and thank you note upload. The electronic signature indicates you have read, understand, and agree to the terms of the scholarship. Uploading your thank you note allows us to share your gratitude with the donor who provided funding for your scholarship. Failure to complete these steps by the acceptance deadline can result in forfeiture of the award.
Revocation of Award
The Victoria College Foundation reserves the right to cancel any scholarship at any time if the recipient fails to meet the standards of academic progress, scholarship criteria and requirements, or if falsification of information is reported or determined.
