This fall semester at Sinclair was extra special for a select few students. Back in July, Sinclair announced that every Monday in August, leading up to the first day of the term, they would be giving out $5,000 scholarships to new and returning students who were enrolled for the fall semester. Students did not have to sign up for this giveaway but had to be enrolled in at least one class to be considered eligible.
Winners were selected randomly by a computer selection from all students registered; giving everybody a fair chance at the giveaway.
Every week, five new students and five returning students were selected. In total, 40 students were awarded the scholarship prize and the last winners were picked on Monday, August 23, the first day of the fall semester.
The Financial Aid & Scholarship office rewarded the students their money for the fall 2021 semester and whatever money was left gets carried over to the spring semester. The scholarship money covers tuition, books, and other school-related expenses.
Students that were ineligible for the giveaway include students enrolled in high school, College for Lifelong Learning students, students enrolled in Advanced Job Training Programs, and students enrolled in any other non-credit bearing courses.
Winners were announced on Sinclair’s social media accounts and were contacted directly via Sinclair’s email and phone. For more information about the Scholarship Giveaway contact the Welcome Center at 937-512-3000 or via email at welcomecenter@sinclair.edu.
