<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Washington</st1:place></st1:State>, we were not able to release the College Access Challenge Grant Scholarship information earlier in the year. With a reduced amount, we now feel we can provide your institution’s award.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><font size="3" color="purple" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:purple;font-weight:bold">As you recall, this is a scholarship for PELL eligible students who are near completion of their degree. The award
can be at least $500 and no more than $1,000 per student. Your president will receive the award letter and you will receive a copy with further instructions and the reimbursement request form. We hope to have the letters out by February 1<sup>st</sup>, so
you may want to start determining which students are eligible so you can apply their award as quickly as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
