It takes 3 business days to update your dues, therefore make sure you do this well in advance of the deadline for the scholarship application. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure your application is complete, including reference letters being submitted online. Late submissions or submissions outside of the online application are not accepted. You can check the status of your application by going to the Scholarship/Grant portal under the Students menu.
