Cynthia Stonesifer, Director of Financial Aid at Kishwaukee College, announced applications are now available for the College’s 2015 – 16 Academic Achievement Awards. The Academic Achievement Awards are available for students who excel academically. Academic Achievement Awards waive in-district tuition and the registration and activity fees at Kishwaukee College for the students who are selected to receive them.
All Awards require the student file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before applying for the Achievement Awards. Guidance offices of in-district high schools have received information and Achievement Award applications. The Achievement Awards application must be received by or have a postmark of April 6, 2015.
Academic Achievement Awards are available to any in-district high school graduate who ranks in the top 25% of their graduating class. Interested high school seniors must submit an application, two letters of recommendation from high school teachers, provide a statement of educational goals and plans, and a copy of their seventh-semester high school transcript (followed by final transcript after graduation, submitted before August 15, 2015). Academic Achievement Award recipients are expected to enroll full-time at Kishwaukee College in Fall 2015 and earn a minimum GPA of 3.1 to retain the award for the Spring 2016 semester.
