REACh is pleased to announce the “REACh Your Goals”
Scholarship Program for the fall 2008 term. This program is designed to
assist the growing number of adult learners, like you, who are returning to
college. REACh scholarships may be used towards the cost of attendance at
your institution as determined by the financial aid department.
To be eligible for the scholarship program, you must meet the following
criteria:
be at least twenty-five years old at the time of
application;

program at an eligible college or university that is a member of the REACh

be a US citizen or permanent resident;
be eligible to receive the REACh Scholarship per your
institution’s financial aid guidelines;
undergraduate students must have earned the equivalent of a
cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and have completed a minimum of
12 semester hours or 15 quarter hours of college level credit at time of
application;
graduate students must have earned the equivalent of a
cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on 4.0 scale based on the last half of
baccalaureate credit hours or based on 12 semester hours or 15 quarter hours
of graduate level credit.
All applications must be postmarked no later than February
8, 2008. Incomplete applications and those received after the deadline will
not be reviewed. Up to four (4) $1,500 scholarships will be awarded. If you
are selected as a recipient, the award payment will be made to your
