How do I claim my scholarship money?
Each spring the Coshocton Foundation awards scholarships to graduating seniors from area high schools. If you have won a Coshocton Foundation scholarship, you will need to submit to the Coshocton Foundation a copy of your official billing statement/invoice from your college or university. A Summary of Account or Financial Aid Worksheet is NOT sufficient, nor is anything entitled “Estimated” acceptable, and the listing of scholarships and grants received will not work either. The official billing statement/invoice should be available on your college’s website, where you log in to get your other student information.
The billing statement must show the amount owed for tuition, fees, room and board, etc. It should also show any other grants or loans you may have. The billing statement must reflect that you owe money. If you have a credit balance, the Coshocton Foundation cannot issue a check. All checks will be made out and sent to your college or university. No checks will be written to individuals. (We are not trying to be difficult — these are the rules by which we must abide!)
Your billing statement may be mailed to the Coshocton Foundation, P.O. Box 55, Coshocton, Ohio, 43812 or may be dropped off at the office at 220 S. Fourth St., Coshocton. It also may be faxed to 740-622-1660 or emailed to dleist@coshoctonfoundation.org. Please include a telephone number where we can contact you if we have any questions. If you will not need to use your scholarship during your first year of college, please advise us when you expect to submit a billing statement for payment.
Attention Schools Seeking Grants
Due to changes in IRS regulations, all grants from elementary, middle and high schools need to be made through the appropriate school district. In other words, where the application says “Name of Applying Organization,” the school district itself must be listed. The contact person may be listed as the actual individual representing the elementary, etc. school, with the person’s contact information. The grant application should also be made clear what school and program the grant is for. Also, the EIN of the school district needs to be reflected on the application. If you have questions, please contact the Foundation.
Thank you!
