Agreements: Students who receive the Partners in Practice Scholarship will be required to maintain a C or better in their coursework to maintain eligibility in the program. Students’ who drop PIP funded courses after tuition has been paid by the scholarship may lose future scholarship eligibility. Students’ needing to drop courses for extenuating circumstances should notify the Partners in Practice team in writing, if they wish to receive scholarship funding in future terms. Students’ completion and academic performance in PIP funded courses may impact their future financial aid eligibility.
Release of Information Waiver: As the Partners in Practice Scholarship Program is a partnership between Central Oregon Community College, Southern Oregon University and NeighborImpact Child Care Resources, applicants understand that this application and student information such as course schedule, student ID number, and grades will be shared between the two agencies in order to administer the scholarship. Only information relevant to scholarship eligibility and grant-related reporting (e.g. SPARK participation & Oregon Registry Step) will be shared.
Award Notification Information: Thank you for your application! You will be notified of your award status before the start of the term, as soon as we are able. If for any reason, we are not able to cover your tuition, we will let you know in plenty of time to drop classes without any consequences. Partners in Practice is not able to determine funding until after all scholarship applications are in. We appreciate your patience with this process!
Important Information: The PIP scholarship pays student accounts later than the COCC deadline to allow other student grants and funding to be received. PIP payments exclusively fund Early Childhood Education tuition. Student accounts will not be credited with PIP funding.
You will be notified by email a week prior to classes beginning each term regarding the status of your application (acceptance or denial.)
