<big><big> Grant Aid for this semester is in the works! I will have
the sign-up sheet ready in the next day or two, and I will let you all
know as soon as you can come by and apply for the scholarship.
However, in compiling the list, I have found many students who have <u>not
used the services at all</u>. This concerns me, because, unless you
use the services, you are not eligible to apply! You all still have
time to complete the required workshops and make some visits with the
staff here in Johnston Hall, but you need to hurry!<br>
<br>
The deadline for signing up will be <u>March 16!</u> You <u><i>must</i></u>
have completed the workshops and made some visits to Student Support
Services in order to qualify for the grant by that day. The workshops
can be done Monday through Friday from 8 am till 5 pm. Also, students
who cannot come in to do them may contact June Haynes @ (918-465-1822),
Kathy Howe @ 918-465-1860 or myself, Sue Lovett @918-4651823. Mrs.
Haynes and Ms. Howe have the workshops and can send them to you via
e-mail. Also, Tammy Crow has them on flash drive in Idabel. She will
submit them for you. There are 5 required workshops and all five take
only take 45 minutes to complete. <br>
<br>
To be eligible, you will need the following:<br>
<br>
1. Be an <u>active member of SSS</u> and completed the workshops for
Mrs. Haynes and Ms. Howe.<br>
2. Have a GPA of 2.0 or greater. (Come see me if you are below 2.0)<br>
3. Be receiving Pell Grant.<br>
4. Have an unmet need of at least $555.<br>
5. Have been in SSS for at least 2 semesters. (Counting this one.)
If you joined this semester, you won't qualify until next fall.<br>
<br>
Do not worry too much about the unmet need. When you come in and
sign-up, I will send your name to Financial Aid, and they will do the
math to see if you have unmet need. Most students do, but there are a
few who don't. This is one of the federal requirements, so it is a
must. The Pell Grant is also a federal requirement.<br>
