Submitting a scholarship application does not guarantee that you will receive an award. ScholarPath makes all award decisions at its sole and absolute discretion based on available funds, applicant eligibility, and the criteria established by each scholarship fund.
By submitting an application, you represent and warrant that all information provided is truthful, accurate, and complete. Submitting false or misleading information is grounds for immediate disqualification and may result in recovery of any funds already disbursed.
ScholarPath is under no obligation to review any application, notify applicants of decisions within any particular timeframe, or provide reasons for its decisions. Award amounts, fund availability, and eligibility criteria are subject to change at any time without notice.
Scholarship funds, if awarded, are disbursed directly to the recipient's accredited educational institution and may only be applied to tuition, fees, books, or other approved educational expenses as defined by the applicable fund.
