eApp Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

If you are still stumped after searching through the FAQs on this page, review the FAQs on our OSAC website, which covers OSAC scholarships, OSAC application, general financial aid, student loans, loan forgiveness and loan repayment programs, and miscellaneous questions.

What kind of security is in place to protect my confidential information?

We are using active server pages (ASP.Net) and secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption to protect your confidential information. We are doing everything we can to protect your confidential information. If however, you are still uncomfortable with trusting an Internet transaction, please feel free to use the paper application.

What happens after I enter my application?

Information from the application is reviewed and processed by OSAC. An applicant pool is developed for each scholarship program based on individual scholarship criteria and information received from applicants. Recipients are selected by donors or their designated representatives. They may require additional information from selected applicants.

Mail or hand-deliver your transcripts and any other required documentation to OSAC by the deadline. Be sure to include your name, last four digits of your Social Security Number, and 5-digit Application Number (eApp users only) on each document.

When will I be notified?

Recipients are sent award letters soon after they are named.

What happens if I make a mistake on my electronic application?

Return to OSAC's eApp Login page, which will allow you to edit the application you previously submitted. You may make changes to your eApp through March 1. After you make your changes, be sure to again print your eApp, sign the form, and send the new version to OSAC by the deadline. If you had already sent your complete packet to OSAC with all documents, you do not need to send another copy of your supporting documents to OSAC. Send just the eApp and write at the top "Revised".

What should I do if I am unable to complete the electronic application?

Complete a paper application and send your activities chart, essays, transcripts, and other documentation to OSAC by the deadline.

What happens if my browser software is not compatible?

Complete a paper application and send your activities chart, essays, transcripts, and other documentation to OSAC by the deadline.

What happens if I don't read the instructions and just send an application and fail to send my activities chart, essays, or transcripts?

Your application will be disqualified. You must submit a complete application packet, which includes your application, Activities Chart, four required Short Essay Answers, appropriate transcripts, and other required supporting documentation by the deadline. Many applications are disqualified each year because students fail to submit one or more of the necessary items.

What can I do to improve my chances of receiving scholarships?

Read and follow all the instructions. We wish we could award every student that has need, but only the students that follow the instructions and submit completed applications with all supporting documents are considered for scholarships.
