SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
To maintain the scholarship, the following criteria must be met:
Original Work
The student will do their own work and will not arrange for someone else to do it for them. This is the foundation everything else rests on.
Regular, Consistent Study
We like to see a student sign in and work four to five days a week, spending adequate time on the system to meet their daily study goals. The actual amount of time needed varies by student. To qualify for the scholarship, we require the following minimum of study time on the system per month:
We try to be flexible and understanding with this policy, and we make an exception for study time during the summer months of June, July, and August. The first time a student falls short of the required minimum study time, we issue a warning letter to the parent email listed on our site. If the poor attendance continues, the scholarship is cancelled.
Serious Effort
The work of the student must be a genuine effort to learn. Some students simply guess at answers repeatedly or enter careless, throwaway text into the Writing Tutor. We consider that behavior a waste of our scholarship funds, and it will put the scholarship at risk.
A Supportive Partnership
We expect scholarship recipients to be supportive of the school and its programs.
