ATTENTION RFE STUDENTS:
To receive your next scholarship allocation from The Race For Education, please send the following to Carly Preston by fax, mail, or email (as attachments only):
1) Your current, itemized tuition bill indicating your student id number and the university/college office address of where to send the payment (this is typically not the cashier's office);
2) A letter addressed to the RFE Board of Directors updating them about your upcoming semester, current goals, etc. (must be written as a business letter);*
3) Your most current unofficial (or official) transcript indicating a cumulative GPA.**
Please include your current contact information as a copy of the check we send to your school will be sent to you.
Please send these materials as soon as possible in order to allow time for processing in our office. We do NOT pay late fees.
If you have questions about your scholarship, please contact Carly Preston, Student Services Manager at 859.252.8648 or carly@raceforeducation.org.
*If you need a refresher course on how to write a business letter, please visit http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/653/01/ and take a look at the sample letters.
**If you recently received your scholarship in the Spring, you do NOT need to send a transcript as RFE has one on file with your application.
NOTE:
Please take the online financial literacy course at www.financialliteracy101.org.
You must obtain the access code from the RFE Student Services Manager. You are REQUIRED to complete AND pass this course before you can receive a scholarship allocation.
If you have already taken the course, you do NOT need to send RFE verification. Thanks!
