Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My college placement test scores indicate I need developmental courses in one or more areas. Can I still receive the Tech Prep Scholarship?
A: The scholarship will NOT pay for developmental coursework but it will pay for courses toward your degree or certificate. You can pay to take developmental courses and, at the same time, take other courses that the scholarship will cover. Other forms of financial aid may apply to developmental courses. Developmental courses count toward your full-time enrollment status.

Q: What degrees and certificates are available to me to pursue with the scholarship?
A: Students may pursue any degree or certificate program at Sinclair using their Tech Prep Scholarship funds! Click here for a complete list of programs.

Q: When do I have to begin at Sinclair to be eligible for the scholarship?
A: Students must register for classes at Sinclair no later than the end of the fall registration deadline one year following their high school graduation in order to activate their scholarship. For lapses of more than the time specified, students must file a petition with the Tech Prep office in Building 6, Room 131. Please CLICK HERE for the Tech Prep Scholarship Appeal form.

Q: I intend to join the military upon high school graduation. May I use the Tech Prep Scholarship once my commitment is over?
A: So as long as you are full-time active duty, you may defer the scholarship until one year after your active duty is completed. For lapses of more than one year, students must file a petition (link above/below) with the Tech Prep office in Building 6, Room 131.

Q: I see the Tech Prep Scholarship listed on my account but it shows as "ineligible"?
A: Like many forms of Financial Aid, the Tech Prep Scholarship will apply up to 10 days prior to the start of the term but not sooner.
