Applications are due on or before this Saturday, February 28, 2015. The student can download the application, submit it on or before February 28, and then supplement the application with any missing information, like tax returns or a grade transcript, for example. NOTE: Even though the Friends of 440 Scholarship website indicates that an application will not be "processed" if there is missing information, the application itself will be considered timely if it is filed on or before February 28, 2015. The application will then move forward in the process when the missing information is submitted. ANY POTENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT WHO NEEDS HELP IN DOWNLOADING AND/OR COMPLETING THE APPLICATION CAN CALL ME ON MY CELL PHONE WHICH IS (904) 728-2582, AND I WILL ASSIST THEM IN MAKING A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION AND GET IT SUBMITTED BY THIS SATURDAY.
