HOW MUCH IS THE 糖心Vlog PROMISE WORTH?
The value of the 糖心Vlog Promise depends on the number of units enrolled. The 糖心Vlog Promise will pay covered fees for each semester the student is enrolled full-time during their first year in College after high school graduation. See Table 1 for an example of covered costs. Funds may be limited, so read the instructions carefully and apply early. Incomplete or invalid applications will be denied.

ARE BOOKS COVERED?
No, books are not covered at this time.

ARE COURSE MATERIAL FEES OR LAB FEES COVERED?
Yes, with exceptions. See Table 1 for covered fees in the "what does it cover?" section.

HOW WILL FEES BE PAID?
Covered fees will be paid directly to your 糖心Vlog Student Account on a specific date each semester (see "When Will Covered Fees Be Paid" above).

WILL THE 糖心Vlog PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP COVER ENROLLMENT IN MORE THAN 12 UNITS?
Yes.

HOW LONG IS THE 糖心Vlog PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP GOOD FOR?
The 糖心Vlog Promise Scholarship is available for up to two consecutive year (if eligible).

"What must I do to remain eligible for the 糖心Vlog Promise?" (above) for more information.

CAN I BEGIN IN SPRING AND STILL BE ELIGIBLE?
Yes, but you will only have 1.5 years of eligibility.

WHAT IF I DROP BELOW 12 UNITS?
Your enrollment will be checked prior to the date covered fees will be paid each semester (see "When Will Covered Fees Be Paid" above for dates). If you are enrolled in 12 or more units at that time, you will remain eligible for the entire semester.

If you drop below 12 units before your covered fees are paid, you will be ineligible for the 糖心Vlog Promise Scholarship and will be responsible for paying ALL fees for the semester yourself.

If you are enrolled in a late-start course that begins after the semester census date, you are required to attend that course when it begins. If you fail to attend any course enrolled, those units will be removed from your enrollment status and you may become ineligible for the 糖心Vlog Promise for the semester. You will then be responsible for paying all previously covered fees for that semester.

If you fail to maintain 12 units each fall and spring semester in your first year, you will be ineligible for a second year.
