Scholarship Renewal Forms due June 27th
Please reach out to your scholars and encourage them to renew.

Every Scholar must renew by 6/27, including those who took a break in enrollment the previous term, to confirm their ongoing eligibility for the Scholarship.

To find those who have not yet renewed, download your PC Scholar Report and view the last column (AA) with "date of last complete renewal". Filter on ‘2018’ to see those who have not yet renewed for this year.
Encourage Scholars to earn free college credits with Modern States
Modern States  offers over 40 tuition-free online courses which may give Scholars academic credits at your college*. Taught by professors from leading universities, the courses prepare students for the College Board  (CLEP) exams . They will even pay for the exam fee!

Scholars take the class, pass the CLEP test and may get free credits. It’s a smart way to save money, graduate faster and make their Scholarship award last longer. 
 
Visit their site to learn more or watch  this webinar  we did in Spring 2018.

* Scholars must confirm that their PC will accept these credits.
