You must confirm your enrollment for the term(s) in which you will receive the scholarship. When you are notified of your award you will be given a link to the acceptance form. At this site you will also upload your thank you note to the donor. Those who have received a scholarship as a new admit to the University, you will receive the scholarship notification first from admissions, and then in the late spring/early summer, you will receive an additional notification from CEHD on how to accept the scholarship and write your thank you note.
Clear instructions for how to write and submit your "thank you" letter are provided in your notification email from CEHD. Our administrators will send your letter to your scholarship donor.
Once you have written your thank you note, we upload the scholarship into your U of M account. Typically within a week you will see it as a credit on your bill. You must be registered for U of M credit during the term(s) it is awarded in order to receive the award, and you must have maintained eligibility. Annual scholarships are automatically split between Fall and Spring semesters; if you plan to be out one of those terms, contact ehdschol@umn.edu.

We leverage our scholarships to reduce your personal payments to your bill, or to reduce your loans. Contact a OneStop financial aid counselor for more information.
