No.  Any senior or graduate of tA365 can apply for a scholarship—the program is not just for graduating seniors.  You can apply for the first time years after you graduate from tA365.  For example, you can apply for a scholarship for your graduate studies, even if you didn’t apply during your undergraduate years.

Yes.  This is very important (and sometimes overlooked)—scholarships are awarded for one year only but you are welcome to reapply each year for as long as you are pursuing a post-secondary education, including graduate studies. Remember that scholarships do not renew automatically—you must reapply each year.

Your award is delivered in two installments, half for the fall term and half for the spring term.  The checks are made out to your school but sent to you.  It is your responsibility to deliver them to the appropriate office at your school.

Checks are written each semester and mailed in July and November.

It’s your responsibility to notify us of any address or school changes so you receive your award without delay. Your award is not based on the school you choose to attend, so choose the school you feel is best for you.

This is increasingly common and we understand there are many valid reasons you may choose to delay matriculating.  We simply ask that you alert us as soon as you know so that the award money can still be used for another tA365 grad in that academic year. You can then reapply when you’re ready to go on with your education.
