You (the applicant) should be the principle point of contact with WYCF, not your parent. We always contact the student before contacting parents, and we expect the student to follow through with any additional information needed.

First, please make sure the contact information you gave is correct. Most emails pertaining to WYCF scholarships will come from administrator@grantinterface.com, so please also check for emails from this address.

Second, check your spam and junk inboxes – we try our best to send emails that will not be caught by spam filters, but it is on you to check your email! Please note that failure to submit scholarship acceptance forms by the deadline of July 31st will result in forfeiture of award.

If you have confirmed that this information is correct, please contact Ben Kinion (BenK@wycf.org).

Proof of enrollment is any document that clearly shows (1) your name, (2) the university or college’s name, and (3) a clear indication of your UPCOMING studies. While we can accept a wide range of options for this requirement, if the document is missing any of these three elements, we cannot accept. it. You’ll need to submit it when you confirm acceptance of your scholarship.

If you are renewing a scholarship, remember that many scholarships will require proof of a satisfactory cumulative GPA. Scholarship requirements can be found at www.WYCF.org/scholarships.

Proof of enrollment might be a transcript for the upcoming term, or similar documentation. If you’re unsure or need help deciding what to submit, email Ben Kinion (BenK@wycf.org).

WYCF policy does not prohibit you from receiving multiple scholarships. However, every institution has its own policy on this matter. You should consult your institution’s financial aid office for more information.

WYCF may allow you to defer your scholarship for a good and clearly-explained cause. Deferrals are accepted on a case-by-case basis and there is no guarantee that your request will be accepted. Deferrals will only be acceptable if you communicate with WYCF staff clearly about your need to defer. You may not request a deferral after failing to accept your award.
