Jack Kent Cooke Foundation 2013 Undergraduate University Transfer Scholarship

In the spring of 2013, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation will award approximately 60 scholarships to help students with exceptional promise and demonstrated financial need earn a baccalaureate degree from a four-year college.  The amount and duration of awards vary by student based on the cost of attendance and the length of the program as well as other scholarships or grants received. The maximum available per student is $30,000 per year. This is the largest scholarship offered in the United States to community college university transfer students.

Durham Tech may recommend up to two students to be considered for the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation University Transfer Scholarship. Students who fulfill the following criteria may apply to the DTCC Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship Committee to be considered for nomination:

• Students must be currently enrolled in the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science Program at DTCC, be eligible to graduate in Spring 2013, and have completed at least 32 credit hours at DTCC by the end of Fall Semester 2012;
  
  
• Students must plan to pursue a baccalaureate degree full time at a four-year institution starting in Fall 2013;
  
  
• Students must have a cumulative college GPA of 3.5 or better; and
  
  
• Students must have unmet financial need. Unmet financial need include two components:
  1. Educational costs exceeding to an appreciable degree other grant awards, and
  2. Insufficient student and family income to meet educational costs.

Arts, Sciences, and University Transfer (ASUT) students who fulfill the above criteria and wish to apply should pick up an information packet in the Phillips Building, room 313 or in the Collins Building, room 292. Application materials must be submitted by 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 23. Visit the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation website to learn more at www.jkcf.org.
