What to Do When you Receive External Scholarships
If you have been awarded an external scholarship you need to notify the Office of Student Financial Services (SFS)in writing. The best way to do this is to make a copy of the letter you receive from the scholarship agency advising that you've been awarded the scholarship. Otherwise send SFS a letter listing your name and Lewis & Clark ID number, name of the scholarship agency, dollar amount and whether the scholarship is for a single semester or the entire year. We want this site to be helpful to you. That's why we encourage you to drop us a line with any questions, comments, or suggestions. sfsschol@lclark.edu :: 503.768.7090
