We hope you are enjoying this time with your student. However, we want to make sure that everyone is prepared and ready to go come the start of the spring term. Read below for some important things your student will want to ensure they have done prior to their return.
1. Apply for SCHOLARSHIPS!
Would you like your Armstrong student to be awarded an Armstrong Scholarship for the 2017-18 academic year? In order to be considered for any of the over 200+ Armstrong scholarships awarded annually, students must complete and submit the Armstrong Scholarship Application. Application deadline is February 17, 2017 at 11:59 pm. To access the application, students must visit our website: armstrong.edu/scholarships and scroll down to find the application link as well as additional important information. Many scholarship funds can only be awarded to students with unmet financial need, which is determined by the student's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), so please be sure your student completes his/her FAFSA application as well before February 17th. More information on how to do so is provided at the link above. **Students who complete and submit their Armstrong Scholarship Application by 5pm on Friday, January 6th will be automatically entered into a raffle awarding three students $250 each in bookstore credit. The raffle will be held Monday, January 9th @ 9AM in front of the bookstore and will be streamed live on Armstrong's Facebook page! If you have any questions about the application or awarding process and timeline, please contact our Scholarship Coordinator, David Henry, via email (david.henry@armstrong.edu) or phone (912.344.2987). Please note, the university is closed for the holidays beginning Friday, December 23rd until Tuesday, January 3rd.
