Eligibility Notes
College employees are not eligible for Foundation scholarships unless they were already enrolled as students before being hired into part‑time roles (e.g., work‑study or NextGen). Students who later obtain part-time employment may keep both their scholarship and employment as long as they remain in good standing. The college may deny a scholarship if it conflicts with the Employee Code of Conduct.
