Daytona State Foundation prompts students to apply for scholarships by Dec. 1

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 11, 2015) – With spring classes starting Jan. 19, many students will

rely on federal financial aid funding to meet educational expenses. However, scholarships can provide critical funding – in some cases making the difference in whether or not a student can pursue a college education.

At Daytona State College, students have access to a variety of donor scholarships, which accounted for almost $1 million awarded to nearly 1,000 students in 2014. Students can apply online at www.DaytonaState.edu/scholarships.

The Spring 2016 donor scholarship application is available through Dec. 1, 2015. Types of scholarships range from teacher education to general studies to interactive media.

• Students will be matched with as many scholarships as possible, per criteria and eligibility. However, students may receive only one DSC Foundation scholarship per semester. 
• Scholarship recipients must meet all scholarship requirements in order to redeem the scholarship award.  
• Scholarship applicants must have a minimum cumulative 2.0 (out of a possible 4.0) grade point average (GPA), unless a higher GPA requirement is stated in the scholarship description.
• Scholarship may not be transferred to another semester.
• High school graduates and first-semester college students must have a high school transcript on file at Daytona State.
• Multi-semester awards must be used in continuous semesters (excluding summer). 
• Applications will not be accepted after the posted application submission deadline for any semester. 
• All official communication with students who apply for scholarships online will be thru FalconMail.

Financial aid specialists and counselors are available to assist students Monday through Friday with extended hours on most campuses at least one day per week. For more information, visit Financial Aid Services online at www.DaytonaState.edu/finaid.
