Important Information for Continuing Your Soneson Scholarship

Congratulations on receiving a Soneson Scholarship! Scholarship payments are made twice a year. One-half of the year’s scholarship is paid end of August; the other half is paid in February. To receive each payment you must demonstrate that you continue to meet scholarship requirements.

Read the Following Information Carefully

You will not automatically receive your next payment! You must do the following to receive each subsequent payment, or you may lose your scholarship:

  • Send an OFFICIAL transcript of grades. Copies are not accepted. Fall transcripts are due to the Committee by February 15; spring transcripts are due to the Committee by August 15. Late transcripts may result in a substantial delay in receiving your check, or even permanent loss of your scholarship.

  • Complete and return the FORM BELOW requesting renewal of your scholarship. Requests for the following semester are due by February 15 and August 15. If the Committee does not receive this form, your scholarship may be terminated without notice.

  • At all times, maintain a minimum 2.5 (C+) grade point average.

  • At all times be enrolled as a full-time student in a 4-year degree program at a college or university in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota or Wisconsin.

If You are in Jeopardy of Losing Your Scholarship, you can write to the Committee requesting reinstatement. You must explain why you have failed to meet the above requirements and how you have remedied or will remedy the situation. Do not expect a reinstatement of a discontinued scholarship! Reinstatements are the exception rather than the rule. The Committee will not contact you — it is your responsibility to meet the requirements.
