SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Datatel Scholarships Several scholarships are available from Datatel. The applicant must have a 3.5 grade point average or higher. San Bernardino Valley College is allowed to nominate two semi-finalists each for the Datatel Scholars Foundation and Angelfire scholarships and one semi-finalist each for the Returning Student, the Nancy Goodhue Lynch Scholarship and the Russ Griffith Memorial. Awards for finalists are generally in the $1000-$2000 range. The application is usually online by September; however this year the Datatel Scholars Foundation is revamping the application process. Students should go to the website below periodically to find out more information and to fill out the online application when it becomes available. The deadline to complete the online application is usually the end of January; however this deadline may also change. Part of the requirements to apply, include writing a 800 -1,000 word essay. Visit the SBVC Writing Center in LA201 for assistance with preparing your essay and look for essay writing tips on the Scholarship Events page. http://www.datatelscholars.org/students Textbook Program (Hackler Textbook Scholarship) Students with serious financial need may be nominated by course faculty to receive the primary textbook from that course. You must be already enrolled in a course, and the instructor for that course must fill out the nomination form. Students do not have access to the form, and are NOT to complete their own nomination. Not all students nominated receive textbook assistance as funds are very limited. Students are eligible for only one book per semester through this program. Discuss your nomination with your instructor during the first week of class. The application is available to instructors only in their campus email. Tell your instructor to contact Joel Lamore at Ext 8612 in LA229 for more information. **Nominations for Spring 2010 (full term classes) are already CLOSED** **Nominations for Spring (late start classes) must be submitted by 2/23/10 at 12 Noon.**
