HWNT SCHOLARSHIP AGREEMENT
I understand that any money awarded to me will be paid directly to the accredited institution I have chosen
to attend OR will be reimbursed to me after I show proof of tuition payment. I must enroll for a minimum
of twelve college hours or vocational equivalent per semester (full-time student status.) Funds will be for
tuition, books, and school-billed fees. I understand that it is my responsibility to request funds in a timely
manner from HWNT so that they can be paid to my academic institution prior to any payment deadlines.
(Please allow one week for scholarship fund processing.)
The Scholarship Committee will review each application on an individual basis. Each application will be
reviewed and scored by three members of the committee. If a student has a mentor or a relative who is on
the Scholarship Committee, the mentor or relative will not be allowed to evaluate that application. The
committee’s decisions will be final and reviewed by the Scholarship Chair prior to notification of any award
recipient. Failure to submit a complete 2015 Scholarship Application may cause the Scholarship Chair
and/or committee to disqualify the application completely.
Scholarships will be awarded on a one-time basis for the upcoming school year and funds must be used
within one calendar school year. I understand that if I do not enroll or if I withdraw from school during the
time frame the scholarship was issued, any unused money will be returned to the Scholarship Fund of the
Hispanic Women’s Network of Texas – Fort Worth Chapter. I also understand that any additional
scholarship requirements of my academic institution must be met and maintained in order to receive
my scholarship.
