BC Resolution – Reducing the GTC Higher Education Scholarship Payments
Oneida Higher Education Scholarship Clarifications
In April 2020, The Oneida Higher Education Scholarship was reduced to a maximum of $5000 per academic school year (August – July).
The $5000 maximum applies to all education levels: Vocational, Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral
The $5000 cannot be applied in full to any single term. It will be divided based on each school’s required terms.
For example:
Two required terms – Fall and Spring
(award will be a max of $2500 per term)
Three required terms – Fall, Winter, Spring or Fall, Spring, Summer
(award will be a max of 1667 per term)
Four required terms – Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer
(award will be max of $1250 per term)
Monthly (Cosmetology programs)
(award will be max of $416 per month)
One term’s award can not be carried over to another term. For example, if a student does not attend fall term, they cannot get the entire $5000 for spring term. Being at a two-term school, a student would only get a max of $2500 for spring term, no matter what.
Special note:
We encourage all individuals who are applying for the Covid 19 Education Relief Fund program to also apply for the Oneida Higher Education Scholarship for Fall term 20/21 if eligible.
Spring term funding from Higher Education will be available at the above listed amounts for eligible students.
Please contact the Oneida Higher Education Department at (920) 869-4033 with any Higher Ed questions.
Please contact (920)-869-4032 with any questions relating to the Covid 19 Education Relief Fund program.
