||||
1. I
am going to be studying abroad. Am I eligible to apply for
a scholarship?
No, you must be enrolled and
attend your college classes within the geographic boundaries of
the United States.
2. I
will be graduating in December. If I win a scholarship,
will I only receive half of the amount?
You will receive 100% of the
money awarded if graduating in December.
3. My
university is on a quarter system, and 10 hours is considered
full-time. Am I eligible to apply for a scholarship?

“full time student” as defined by the university or college
where the applicant is enrolled.
4.
What happens to the documents I provide? For example,
financial information, transcripts, etc. I am concerned
about my privacy and security of information.
The only document retained by the
Houston Alumnae Panhellenic Foundation is the actual
application. All supporting documents (transcripts,
financial information, etc.) are shredded once the selection
process is completed. The application is retained in order
to have contact and university information in order to send
awarded funds to the school’s financial office.
5. I
am enrolled at Texas A&M University, but will be student
teaching in Houston for a semester. Am I eligible to apply
for a scholarship?
Yes, you are eligible if Texas
A&M University considers the student teaching assignment as
being a “full time student” and as long as you meet all other
eligibility requirements.
6. I
live in Sugar Land, Fort Bend County, but graduated from a
Houston Harris County high school. Am I eligible to apply
for a scholarship?
Yes, you are eligible based on
the location of your high school. If you graduated from a
high school in Harris, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston,
Liberty, Montgomery or Waller County, you are eligible for a
scholarship. Your county will be verified based on your
official high school transcript.
7.
Can the scholarship funds be used to pay my sorority dues?
No, the scholarship
funds are for tuition only and are sent directly to the
university/college financial office to be applied to your tuition.
8.
Can I win this scholarship more than once?
Yes, you may. We have many
recipients who win a scholarship more than once. You must
apply every time, however.
9.
Will an “unofficial” transcript be acceptable instead of an
official transcript?
No. Our requirement is an
“official” high school and college transcript. Previous
winners are not required to furnish a high school transcript
again.
