2015-2016 pla scholarship cosc

[JTP]

If anyone is interested, Charter Oak just posted the application for the PLA scholarship for the current 2015-2016 school year.

It is a little different this year, as in it is for only one free assessment instead of the two from last year...but free is still free!

You can find the paperwork in Acorn under the students tab and forms --> Or just click this link

I applied for it yesterday. I will update this thread when I get word if my application was approved or not. Just to give people an idea of how long it takes for approval and how strict the standards are.

Minor update: There was a typo on the original DOC from straighter line...They repeated the same question twice in two separate areas of the application form. I just said see question #such and such in the duplicate spot and in my submission I noted the error on the form.

I got an email back acknowledging the mistake and was asked to answer one more question and respond back via email. I completed that, so we will see what happens next.
