Payment & Student Responsibilities

Each scholarship is awarded on a two semester term (fall & spring). Payment of the scholarship is made in two installments to the college or university the student is attending. The first payment is made during the fall semester, and the second payment is made during the spring semester.

It is the responsibility of the student to provide the FSGA with the correct mailing address for the payment of the scholarship (usually the financial aid department).
