FAQ

**I can't find where to print the scholarship application.
Our application is only available electronically. The link to access the application is available when the cycle is open, at www.s-caf.org.

**I just moved here. Am I eligible for scholarships?
Yes!

**I feel like I don't really qualify for any of these scholarships. Is this worth my time?
Yes! We have more than 10 scholarships that have zero requirements. Every applicant is eligible.

**I didn't take the SAT/ACT test. What should I put in that section? 
Please check "did not take". This will not adversely effect your eligibility.

**Do I need to include a separate community college transcript?
If your running start classes are included on your high school transcript, you do not need to provide anything else. If they are not included, you will need to provide a separate transcript or documentation.

**How many recommendation letters can I provide?
We require one letter, but you can send recommendation requests for up to three.

**The person providing me my recommendation emailed me a letter. Is that ok?
No, we only accept blind recommendations specifically requested through our application.

**I need help filling out my application or knowing what to apply for.
Please contact SCAF: email info@s-caf.org, call 360-629-6878, or text 360-474-7086. 

**I got a scholarship, but my plans changed and I'm not going to go to school this fall.
If you are not going to use your funds right away in the Fall, we will hold your money for up to 2 years, but you MUST fill out the extension form in the online portal and keep us informed about your plans.

**I missed the deadline for filling out my claim information. Did I lose my scholarship?
Not yet. You should have received a text/email/phone call/letter from SCAF. Respond immediately and get your claim/extension information filled out ASAP. If you wait too long, you will receive a letter giving you a final deadline to complete this. After that date, your scholarship will be rescinded and you can no longer claim it.

**I am withdrawing from my school to go somewhere else. Do I need to let someone know?
Your school will return any unused funds to SCAF. Please contact us as soon as possible to let us know if there's somewhere else we need to send the funds or if you need us to hold them for a period of time.

**Who decides the winner of each scholarship?
Most scholarship recipients are chosen by the sponsor themselves. SCAF also has a scholarship selection committee that determines several of the scholarship winners based on the parameters set by those scholarship sponsors.
