What Happens Next?

After completing the SBVC Online Scholarship Application, what happens next?  The SBVC Scholarship Committee beginPiggy bank with graduation cap and $1 bills the selection process which takes place from January - March.  We read hundreds of applications and have a series of meetings to make selections.  In April, the final scholarship decisions are made and notifications are sent to students via their SBVC Student Email account.  We do NOT send notifications by mail or phone. Don't miss out on scholarship awards because you are not using your Valley College student email account!  If you do not respond to your email notification in April, your award could go to another student.  All new scholarship announcements are also sent to students through their student email, so checking your Valley College account at least once a week could result in even more scholarship opportunities for you. If you know that checking your SBVC student email is going to be a problem, consider forwarding your emails to another email account that you do check regularly or to your cell phone so that you do not miss any scholarship information. For more information on how to access your SBVC Student Email contact the HELP desk for technical support.

The Scholarship Award Ceremony for these scholarships will be held on Wednesday, May 09, 2012 in the SBVC Auditorium. Details about how to claim your scholarship and the award ceremony will be in your SBVC student email notification if you are selected.

If you did not receive an email, don't be discouraged. Most students need to apply multiple times to receive a scholarship. The next step is to start applying for Outside Scholarships.
