Notes:

1. Awardees must be full-time students (taking 12 or more credits) while receiving the scholarship and must demonstrate financial need by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year for scholarship funding. See http://fafsa.ed.gov

2. Awardees must be prepared to take MATH 083 Intermediate Algebra, or higher, at time of award. This can be done by Accuplacer Math Placement test level LVM2 or higher at CCBC, or by completion of MATH 082.
3. Applications are due before each semester and awards will be made before the start of the semester. Approximately 20 awards per semester will be made.
4. Awardees who have earned an Associate degree at CCBC or earned a minimum of 45 credits at CCBC in a STEM program are eligible to apply for a "transfer" award to a 4-year institution in a STEM program there. However, such a "transfer" award will be made for at most 2 semesters while the student is at the four-year institution.
5. Continuous MATH enrollment is required. That is, awardees must register for a MATH course each semester of award until all required mathematics for their STEM programs is completed.
