Remember to sign up for the upcoming donor-funded scholarship application workshop, hosted by the Office of Financial Aid and the Academic Resource Center!
The workshop will be held tomorrow (Tuesday) in the ARC (Murdock Library, first floor) from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. There will be a total of 24 individual appointments offered (15 minutes each) for traditional undergraduate students. You must sign up for an appointment in person at the ARC front desk. The deadline to sign up is today (Monday), and no drop-ins will be accepted during the workshop.
You will need to bring a laptop to your appointment. While ARC staff are happy to help you brainstorm your answers, it is best to have a rough draft ready so they can help you with content editing, proofreading, and clarity.
Students who have already completed their applications may edit their answers and resubmit, and are eligible to sign up for this event. All students who initially submitted applications by Feb. 15 will still remain in the Early-Bird Scholarship drawing, even if they resubmit after the early-bird deadline.
If you are unable to attend the event, but still want to work with an ARC consultant, you may schedule an appointment during their normal office hours. The final deadline to apply for our donor-funded scholarships is March 1.
If you have any questions, please contact the financial aid office at finaid@georgefox.edu or visit our office on the second floor of the Stevens Center during our drop-in hours (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.).
