Receiving Your Foundation Scholarship
Once you have submitted your Foundation scholarship application, in most cases, you should expect to be notified within 3 to 6 weeks after the beginning of the semester in which you applied regarding your eligibility. Letters of notification are sent via student email and My LaGuardia page to all applicants whether or not they receive a scholarship. As soon as you receive your award notification, you should follow the acceptance instructions to accept your award.
If you've been awarded a scholarship, the amount will be credited directly to your tuition in CUNYfirst. If your award doesn't cover your entire tuition, please subtract your pending award amount from the amount you owe and pay the balance by the tuition due date indicated on CUNYfirst (You won't be dropped from your registered classes before your award is applied to your tuition).
If your award exceeds the amount of your tuition, a refund will be issued to you either in the form of a check mailed to the address on file in CUNYfirst or a credit to your Student Direct Deposit account after the College has verified that you're enrolled in classes and meeting scholarship requirements (see below).

If you graduate during the current academic year or if the funds become unavailable, the Foundation reserves the right to withdraw this award.
