Roughrider Scholarship Award Recipients Instructions

Congratulation on your Roughrider Foundation scholarship award!  Funds are split into two payments:  half for the fall semester and half for the spring semester.  To ensure that the funds are sent to the correct college, follow the steps below.   The online form must be completed twice – one time for the fall semester funds and one time for the spring semester funds.  If the form is not completed and submitted, the funds will be held.

Step 1:

Go to the following website:    www.roughriderscholarship.org

Step 2:

At the top of the page in the main navigation menu, click on “Recipients”

Step 3:

Click on “Funds Form”

Step 4:

Complete the form.  Indicate the correct semester!

Step 5:

Upload proof of registration from the college (example:  registration ,  schedule, etc.)  The form should show the name of the college, your name and the semester.  (Note:  Contact the admissions office by phone or check the website regarding Freshman Orientation OR make an appointment with an advisor to discuss your schedule, registration, etc.)

When your completed Roughrider Form and registration document are received, a letter and check will be mailed to the scholarship/business office of your college; funds will be applied to your account.

Note:   If, for some reason, you decide to change your college after the check has been mailed, prepare for a delay of funds.   You are responsible for:

1) Notifying the college and requesting the funds be returned to the Foundation:

Roughrider Scholarship Foundation

Re:  Returned Funds

PO Box 152

2) Notifying the Roughrider Foundation regarding the change of college in writing (email) with the name of the initial college and name of the “new” college.   Email to the  Scholarship Liaison:   aleasecopelin@yahoo.com

In the email subject line:   Roughrider Scholarship College Change – Your name

3) When the returned check is received by the Foundation, funds will then be re-sent to the “new” college when proof of enrollment in the “new” college is sent to the Foundation.
