Scholarship applications will be open from one week before the class start date until the third week of class. After that date, scholarship applications will be closed for that semester. When applying for a scholarship, please ensure that all the information on the application is filled out correctly and that you submit all the applicable forms with the application. If you do not send in all the appropriate forms with your application, then your application will not be processed. If the class you would like to attend has started and your scholarship application has not yet been processed if you would like to still participate in the class, be advised that even though your scholarship is pending you will still have to pay the registration fee and the class fees. If your scholarship is approved after you have already been attending the class, Champions In Motion will not reimburse you for the class fees that you have already paid.
