5 General Information The award amounts and the number of awards listed in this brochure are approximate and may vary. Please pay close attention to special requirements and deadlines for scholarship for which you are applying. The Foundation reserves the right not to issue awards for certain scholarships as may be determined necessary from time to time due to extenuating circumstances. The majority of scholarships are based on financial need, academic merit and non-academic activities, but scholarship has its own evaluation criteria. The selection process is competitive. Receipt of an award for one academic year does not guarantee that an award will be granted in subsequent years. Most four-year awards do require that the student maintain a certain GPA to continue receiving benefits. Other criteria for maintaining a scholarship award will be outlined in the award letter should the student receive a scholarship. Unless otherwise noted, students must reapply every year to be considered for awards. We urge students to reapply even if they did not receive an award in the previous year. Scholarships are paid directly to the college and are made to USbased educational institutions ONLY. For more information, visit capecodfoundation.org or call The Cape Cod Foundation makes its best effort to ensure that scholarship dollars awarded will be used to directly offset student s self-help need, instead of reducing institutional grants. Institutions/Colleges/ Universities may adjust financial aid packages to reflect scholarships other than those granted by the college. Usually a college or university will first use an outside scholarship to replace unmet need, or reduce the amount of loans or work study before adjusting grants or scholarships. However, policies vary and students should check with their institutions financial aid office. PAGE 5
