However, all scholarships have criteria that were set up by the benefactor detailing what is required by a student in order to be awarded the scholarship. The student is applying for all dual credit scholarships by completing the Amarillo College Dual Credit Scholarship Application.

4. I received a scholarship, but the money has not been applied to my account. What should I do? 
   Dual Credit Scholarship awards are generally applied to charges for tuition, fees and required supplies directly through the business office. Any remaining balance is the responsibility of the student. Any credit balance will be forfeited and returned to the Foundation. Students will need to check with the business office to see if any payments are still due following their scholarship award.
