What's Next

If you applied for an OSAC scholarship, you can login to your e-Student Profile (see Quick Links Box above) status page with your user name and password. You will be able to check the status of the scholarships for which you applied. Check back regularly.

Important: If your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, choice of college or major changes, please contact OSAC immediately by submitting the "Scholarship Application Update Form."

OSAC received approximately 10,000 scholarship applications for 2009 -10. Processing takes place this spring for more than 400 scholarship opportunities. Donor selection committees select the recipients from the applicant pool developed for their particular scholarship.

Scholarship awards are named from May through July. Award letters are sent to recipients soon after they are named. Letters are mailed to scholarship awardees at the addresses we have on file. OSAC cannot respond to individual requests naming recipients for scholarship awards.

Awards for The Ford Family Foundation Scholarship Programs and most programs for graduating high school seniors are named by June 1. Most scholarship programs for college students are named during the month of June.
