Mailing Addresses: There are 2 mailing addresses. Overnight mail will not be delivered to the PO Box and vice versa.
Thank you all for your assistance for the External GEAR UP Evaluation. Scholarship Deadlines: Eligible students must complete and submit scholarship forms to CHE on time! If students do not adhere to the deadlines, they will forfeit payment for the current semester. Students who have not filed the FAFSA cannot receive the scholarship.
Do not send forms until the students make their final decisions. Do not leave the college name blank or write multiple schools. We use the information to determine where to send the scholarship checks. You now should have a report in your database to show students who are eligible for the scholarship. New this year: Graduating high school seniors must also submit a high school transcript request form. This information will confirm course completion of 12th grade students for the annual performance report. |
