Athletic Scholarships:
If you are receiving an athletic scholarship, please request that a copy of your scholarship letter be forwarded to our office for use as your financial documentation. In cases such as this, you do not need to submit a CFR form to go with the departmental award letter.
If your award is less than our requested financial guarantee amount you must submit additional financial documentation to make up the difference. For example, if you must show a financial guarantee in the amount of $18,000 and your department awards you $15,000, you must provide a CFR form with financial documentation for the $3,000.
