Upon your acceptance of the scholarship and receipt of this contract by the LLCC Foundation, your award will be administered as follows.

Tuition payment
• Prior to the tuition payment due date each semester a “scholarship hold” will be placed on your LLCC account. The scholarship hold ensures that your classes will not be dropped for lack of payment.

• The scholarship award will be applied to your account about one month after the start of each semester.

• The scholarship does not cover your fees. You will owe that amount. It is your responsibility to obtain an updated tuition and fees statement.

• Enrollment Compliance:
After the “last withdrawal date for 100% tuition refund’ each semester that the scholarship is used, your schedule will be checked to make sure that you are in compliance with criterion 3. and 5. Non-compliance of either of these criterions will result in the cancellation of your scholarship.

• Completion Compliance:
At the end of the fall semester, your transcript will be reviewed to confirm that you are in compliance with criterion 4 and 5. Non-compliance of either of these criterions will result in the cancellation of your scholarship.

To confirm your use of the scholarship for the 2024-2025 academic year, a renewal contract will be mailed to you after completion of the spring 2024 semester.
