The amount granted to each student is based on the funds available and on the student’s needs.
In order to qualify for Worthy Students funds the student must:
Submit a work plan with details of what they are doing to raise funds during the break to pay for their tuition the following semester.
Submit a report after break is over, listing their efforts and how much they received from it.
Apply for Worthy Student funds at least a week before registration day semester.
Pay to the school with funds available.

Before registering, each student must submit a Payment Contract to the Student Finance Office signed by the student indicating acknowledgment of this responsibility. Student financial responsibility includes awareness of information on student costs and means of paying those costs.
