2009-10 Timely New MTI Scholarship Applicants to be Awarded Tuesday Night (August 25th)
ISAC plans to perform an awarding run for 2009-10 timely new MTI Scholarship Program applicants tonight (Tuesday, August 25th), and awarding results will be available to access via My Zone tomorrow morning (Wednesday, August 26th). In addition, award notifications will be mailed to recipients on August 26th. Only timely new applicants for the MTI Scholarship Program will be included and, based on available funding, it is anticipated that not all timely new applicants will receive an award.
No Subsequent 2009-10 Awarding Anticipated
Due to previously-announced budget reductions, it is anticipated that - after tonight's awarding of timely new MTI Scholarship Program applicants - no subsequent awarding will take place for these programs for the 2009-10 academic year.
Be sure to continue completing and submitting Initial Certifications throughout the year, in order to ensure that ineligible applicants will receive a Notice of Ineligibility.
