Scholarship Deadline Extension

AUA Students,

Great news! The scholarship deadline has been extended for 1 week. You have until 6:30pm on July 7, 2010 to submit your scholarship application. Print and complete the attached. Add the appropriate information for the scholarship you chose (if needed) then fax it to 770-407-1110 or pdf and email to me. Keep your confirmation.

While we are discussing scholarships, I see that some of you have already submitted an application BUT it is either an incomplete application or you checked too many boxes so we are unable to determine which one you are applying for. We won’t be able to process these applications, so if you did either of the above, you will need to resubmit your application by the deadline with only one scholarship checked and/or make sure your application is complete.

Scholarship application review should be complete the end of July and hopefully awards posted by the middle of August. Good Luck!

Kim P. Ousley, Ed.S.
Director of Student Services
