• All scholars must submit a Funding Document even if you are not taking a disbursement.
• Remember your school will need at least three weeks to process your disbursement. Do not wait until the last minute to request a disbursement!
• Due to year end accounting issues, no checks will be written between December 10 and January 1 of each year.
• It is the responsibility of the Scholar to supply all required information.
• The Scholarship Fund will make ONE attempt to contact you in the event that you do not submit all documents necessary to process your request for funding. This does not apply to scholars who DO NOT attempt to submit any of their documents. We will only contact those scholars who have started their requirements, but are still missing documents. 

If you have any questions, please contact Channon Ellwood (cellwood@scholarship.org), Leslie Cornwell lcornwell@scholarship.org) or call (561) 347-6799.

Emergency Fund Application

Thanks to a generous, ongoing donation from the Steve Bagdan Charitable Foundation, the George Snow Scholarship Fund will now be able to further help Snow Scholars in need. The objective of the George Snow Scholarship Emergency Fund is to provide a resource for current Snow Scholars, whereby they can apply for financial assistance which will help them manage unexpected hardships and challenges during their educational careers.

Rolling applications will be accepted throughout the year. All eligible applications will be reviewed by the Emergency Fund Review Committee. The Committee will make every effort to act on each application as quickly as possible. The decisions to assist students will be based on established criteria, need and funding available at the time of application.

To determine if you are eligible for emergency funds, please carefully review the program criteria listed below.

**The Emergency Fund is only available to current Snow Scholars**

It is important that an applicant understands the intent of the Emergency Fund before applying for funding.

• The application should be made only by individuals with verifiable situations.
• Funding will be based on financial need.
• Scholars cannot be reimbursed for previous expenses. Funding must be disbursed directly to the merchant requiring payment. 

If the Review Committee questions whether a request meets the criteria mentioned above, the underwriters of the Emergency Fund may be contacted to advise the Review Committee on the suitability of the requested funding.

Payment of the grant will be made directly to the company or institution which is the provider of the service. Students may be reimbursed in special situations where the expenses need to be paid immediately up front. This is NOT the preferred method of disbursement and is discouraged.

Examples:

• A scholar may need emergency medical treatment that required payment at the time the services were rendered.

• A scholar may have to pay for travel to tend to a dire family emergency or to attend the funeral of an immediate family member (mother/father/brother/sister) and may not have time to apply for a grant from the Fund prior to the travel date.

Presentation of receipts and/or invoices will be required prior to payment of the grant.
