Sponsorships and Outside Scholarships
What is a sponsorship? A sponsorship occurs when an outside agency pays tuition, fees, and/or books for a student. In order for this to be a seamless process, the college requires the following from the agency:
1. An intent to pay (authorization) on agency letterhead which should contain the student’s name, social security number or the college issued student ID number.
a. List the semester being covered.
b. State the full amount authorized.
c. Specify how much money should be spent on tuition and fees.
d. If the agency is not paying the full tuition and fees, specify the amount they
are paying for tuition and the amount for fees.
e. Provide the agency contact information to receive the invoice from the college.
2. The authorization may be forwarded using the following processes: Faxed to (336)578-3964; emailed to laurie.farrell@alamancecc.edu; hand delivered; or mailed to the Cashier’s Office at P.O. Box 8000, Graham, NC 27253-8000. The authorization must be sent to Laurie Farrell’s attention and must be received by the payment due date to guarantee a class seat.
What is a scholarship? A scholarship is paid for a student (s) by any agency, church, company, or individual. The third party can pay a portion of the student’s expenses or all of the expenses. Payment in excess of the student’s tuition and books will be held in the student’s account until completely exhausted. In order for this to be a seamless process, the college requires the following from the agency:
1. The Third Party needs to send to the Cashier’s Office (Attn. Laurie Farrell), a check along with the student’s name, social security number or the college issued student ID number on the check.
a. On a separate page, list the semester being covered.
b. Specify the portion authorized for tuition and fees.
c. If the Third Party is not paying the full tuition and fees, specify the amount
allotted for tuition and the amount for fees.
d. Provide the Third Party contact information in the event the college needs to refund
the agency.
2. The check may be forwarded using the following processes: Hand delivered, or mailed to the Cashier’s Office at P.O. Box 8000, Graham, NC 27253-8000. The check must be sent to Laurie Farrell’s attention and must be received by the payment due date to guarantee that the student has a seat in class.
If the student drops out of class and still has a balance in the scholarship account, the Third Party will be notified and asked to decide if they want to be refunded or donate the money to the ACC Foundation General Scholarship Fund.
