  • Step One: Scholarship Appeal Paper

    Since this appeal letter is required and will potentially be given to potential sponsors, it is crucial that it be well written. Not only that but when you are matched with a sponsor and subsequently complete the exit paper in the degree program, your exit paper will most likely be sent to your sponsor to allow them to follow your progress. Take time to write a well-written appeal letter!

    You will be writing a paper with a minimum of 1,000 words to appeal for a scholarship. For more information, please read the assignment and then write and submit your Scholarship Appeal Paper in the assignment below. This is one of the most important steps in the Pool of Bethesda Scholarship Program. In order to receive a scholarship, CLI must be able to find a sponsor for the student. This Appeal Paper will be directly used in that process. PLEASE BE CAREFUL TO BE TRUTHFUL IN YOUR APPEAL LETTER; IF AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE CLI DISCOVERS THAT A STUDENT WAS DISHONEST IN THE APPEAL LETTER, THE STUDENT'S SCHOLARSHIP AND/OR ANY DEGREE CONFERRED MAY BE REVOKED.

  • Step Two - Scholarship Funds are Identified. What Happens When a Sponsor is Found for You?

    Once we have found a sponsor for you, you will become enrolled in the appropriate Degree Program for you. You will also be moved from the Pool of Bethesda Scholarship Program to the Pool of Bethesda Scholarship Recipient Group. When you have completed all the credits and requirements in that specific Bachelor's Degree Program, we will forward your exit paper to your sponsor for the Degree Program. Make sure to write a thank-you to your sponsor within your Degree Program exit paper.

    Please be aware that receiving the Pool of Bethesda scholarship only comes with a free digital download of your degree. If you want a hard copy of your degree you will be responsible for the shipping fees.
