FAQ
How do you determine eligibility?
Eligibility is determined using the US Government HUD median income summary. This allows us to apply a consistent and fair process for all applications.
You can see the current year data here: huddata.clackamasunited.com
How much do you cover?
Rather than offer a specific amount of money; we offer a percentage based scholarship program. Your eligibility determines what that percentage is. We provide scholarships at the following levels:
- 25 %
- 50%
- 75%
In limited cases we may be able to offer 100% support, but this is on a case by case basis. Providing as much detail as possible in your application will enable us to make decision.
How long does it take for a decision, after I apply?
We try to evaluate all applications within 72 hours, but during peak periods we may take as long as 2 weeks. This can be exacerbated by incomplete applications.
Why do you need the documents you ask for?
We ask for supporting documentation during your application so that we can verify eligibility.
As eligibility is based on income and people in the household, we require a document that demonstrates this. (this typically requires a copy of your 1040 cover page).
Do you help with uniform costs too?
Yes, we do.
During your application for financial aid (scholarship) there are some questions about uniform needs. We use those answers to determine your eligibility for uniform fees to be included.
