鈥淩ecognizing that our returning veterans will have education benefits from other sources, we want to acknowledge and support the educational aspirations of family members who have shared in the sacrifices of service to our country,鈥� said Ron Chesbrough, 麻豆传媒 president.
The new scholarship will be introduced along with the new 鈥渕ilitary one-stop shop鈥� in the college's Enrollment Services Department, where students will receive financial and academic guidance from one counselor beginning in time for the 2012 fall semester enrollment period.
To be eligible for this competitive scholarship the student must be a legally dependent son, daughter or spouse of a current military service member or an honorably discharged veteran. The scholarship pays all tuition for in-district students; out-of-district students pay only the difference between in-district and out-of-district tuition. As much as $25,000 will be awarded in scholarships annually. Deadline to apply for the scholarship is April 2, 2012, for the 2012-13 academic year.
