PAYMENTS
All IFT Scholarships and Fellowships will be distributed in two payments, August 15 and January 15, through the department heads. Upon receiving each payment we ask the department heads to verify registration of the scholarship/fellowship recipients.
In addition, all recipients will receive recognition at a Regional Section meeting where the university is located, by a representative of the sponsor whenever possible.
NOTE: Students who apply for any of the Division scholarships will also be included in the IFT general scholarship program, if they qualify. Students may use the check-off for only ONE of the scholarships with special qualifications.
