Use of Funds and Disbursement
KZCF scholarships may be applied toward any charges included in your school’s cost of attendance (COA). COA components vary by institution and can include tuition, fees, room and board, transportation, food, health insurance, and similar educational expenses. Check your school’s COA on its website or through the financial aid office.
Scholarship awards are issued directly to the recipient’s college or university. KZCF typically sends one payment for the full academic year and requests that the school divide it evenly between fall and spring terms. If you prefer a different allocation, indicate your request on the acceptance form after you receive the award.
This award is renewable and may be received for up to four academic years (eligible for renewal annually for up to four times). The scholarship can be combined with other financial aid or scholarships, and no additional action is required once the funds have been disbursed to the institution.
About Evelyn Prince and the Fund
Friends and family established the Evelyn Prince Memorial Scholarship in her memory. Evelyn was a two-time participant in the state golf championships representing Kalamazoo Central High School, earned straight A’s in her studies, and spent a summer serving as a congressional page in Washington, D.C. At 17, she participated in a foreign exchange program in Wolfsburg, Germany; she died there in an auto accident in 1999.
