Spelman College is a competitive institution where many of our students are merit worthy, extremely involved leaders, civic activists, and first-generation students. With us supporting such a unique, yet dynamic group of young people, our scholarship funds are limited upon entry.
Understanding the limitations of our institutional scholarship dollars, new students enter Spelman College with a significant amount of their funds from external sources.
REPORTING EXTERNAL SCHOLARSHIPS
Students who wish to report to the Office of Financial Aid any external scholarships, must email a copy of the award notification to externalscholarships@spelman.edu. Only PDF attachments are accepted and always include the student’s name and ID number (900xxxxxx). External scholarship(s) award letters are applied to the student’s account as anticipated financial aid. The funds will not disburse to the student's account until actual payment is received by check or wire. Submission deadline dates are listed below:
If external scholarship funds are not received by the deadline date(s), the anticipated aid will be removed from the student’s account and the balance will become due at once.
Make all scholarship checks payable to Spelman College.
If a check is made co-payable to Spelman and the student, the student will be required to sign the check which may delay the posting of funds to the student’s account.
The external scholarship check(s) and/or documentation sent to the Financial Aid Office must reflect:
