Scholarship Terms
​

You must formally accept your scholarship by logging into the portal and signing the required document(s) and upload a bill for the awarded school year. Once these two conditions have been met, the 101: Fund will send your scholarship payment to your college/university.

-
Returning students may apply for additional funds in subsequent years.
-
Returning students must still prove financial need, submit the required documentation, and demonstrate a cumulative 2.0 grade point average (GPA).
