MLK Spring/Summer

Dear Scholarship Applicant, 
 
Document Uploads. To assist in the efficiency of completing applications, all upload fields are required. There are no exceptions. All questions regarding document uploads may be directed to the Finance Committee via vp.finance@icc.coop
 
Final Decision. All award decisions will be made by the Finance Committee. All recipients will be notified by email shortly thereafter. All questions regarding final decision may be directed to the Finance Committee via vp.finance@icc.coop
 
If you have a concern regarding a finance or scholarship policy or decision, or you have a special circumstance for us to consider, you may follow the appeal procedures below:

1. Present your situation to the VP for Finance. All options for resolving the situation should be explored with the VP before moving to the next step. If the situation cannot be resolved, the VP will determine the course to take in Step Two.
2. One of the following actions will be taken:
   • Your situation will be presented by the VP for Finance to the Finance Committee. This occurs when unusual circumstances are presented that may require exceptions to standard finance or scholarship policies or procedures.
   • You may complete an appeal form and schedule an appointment to discuss your circumstances with the Finance Committee. This occurs when unusual circumstances do not exist but a Finance Committee policy is questioned, or when a student is not satisfied with a policy as explained by the VP for Finance.
3. If, after completing Step 2, you feel the situation warrants further consideration, you may ask for a review and consultation with the Board of Directors.

In order to completely and fairly review your application, the Finance Committee requires the same documentation from every applicant. We unfortunately cannot accept screenshots or other unofficial documents (unless otherwise explicitly stated).
 

**ATTENTION**
 
If you are receiving financial support from your guardian(s), you must provide the following:
 
A letter from your guardian detailing the financial support given is required to complete your application. This needs to be emailed to vp.finance@icc.coop and come directly from your guardian.
 
This includes if they do not give you any financial assistance. 

If you are not receiving financial support from anyone (including but not limited to parents, guardians, partners, or additional scholarships) please prove that with documentation. Some examples may include

1. a letter from your guardian(s) stating such or
2. an EFC from FAFSA. 

**ATTENTION**
 
Your documentation must reflect your ability to pay your full tuition and all ICC charges. Please use the Text Box below to verify the total amount of tuition and charges for the scholarship period (May-August) and how it will be paid for. All of your claims must be backed up by the documentation you’ve already submitted. If you cannot prove your claims, the Finance Committee can not consider them.
 
Example 1: For this Spring and Summer, the total cost of my tuition is $14,000 (see Financial Aid Letter). The total cost of my charges are $3200 because I live in Gregory House. My parents pay for my rent in full (see Guardian Letter). $10,500 is covered by scholarships (see Financial Aid Letter). $4,000 is covered by my loans (see Financial Aid Letter). $1,700 is paid for by my job (see Pay Stub). $1,000 is paid for by guardians (see Guardian Letter). 
 
Example 2: For this Spring and Summer, the total cost of my tuition is $0 since I am not taking classes. My charges are $3500 since I live at Luther house. $3,000 will be paid for with income from my job (see Pay Stub). The remaining $500 will be paid for with leftover money from student loans from last year.
