Scholarship FAQs

Can I combine the Timothy P. O’Shaughnessy scholarship with other scholarships or financial aid? 

Our scholarship is applied after accounting for all other grants, scholarships and financial awards.  Your school’s financial aid office is responsible to monitor received financial aid and ensure it doesn’t exceed the stated Cost of Attendance.  

How is payment made?

Scholarship checks will be made payable to the Financial Aid Office at the students’ school or university unless other arrangements have been made.  

What happens if I transfer to another school? 

Your scholarship travels with you!  You will need to continue to provide documentation under our Annual Renewal Procedures, and upon approval, we will coordinate with your new school.  

Toward what types of adult education can my scholarship be applied? 

Scholars may apply annually for funding towards undergraduate and graduate school, adult education classes, special certification and training, etc.  

I went to college straight out of high school and earned my degree in 4 years.  Since then, I’ve been working for 2 years.  Now, I’ve decided I want to return to school.  Can I apply for funds again?

Absolutely!  Your funds remain available to you for a full ten years from the first date of award.  In the above scenario, you would have up to four years of aid remaining for which you may apply.
