The scholarship will be awarded in two phases:  $1,250 for the fall semester and $1,250 for the spring semester.  TVQG will send the scholarship award directly to the institution so that the funds are credited to the student’s account.  The scholarship recipient is required to notify TVQG scholarship committee in writing along with a copy of the fall grade report to verify that the GPA requirements are met so that the $1,250 can be applied to the spring term.
