We will list the recipients of the scholarships in the Congratulations section on the front page of the Financial Aid Times. We do not notify you if you were not chosen.

Community Service and Scholarships What Does It Mean?

Some scholarships require that recipients do community service as part of their education. They are looking for students who have done volunteer work either here at the CIA or in the community. This includes any type of nonpaid activity done for the betterment of, or in service to, others. For example: serving at a soup kitchen, being a club officer, assisting a chef prepare for an exam, or tutoring a child or adult in reading. Remember, your education is about more than what you take from an experience. It is also about what you give back.

Finding a Work-Study Community Service Job

These jobs might include assisting youngsters with such jobs as lunchroom duty, tutoring and flashcard drills, playground duty, and many others. You are paid for your travel time to and from the school in addition to your time spent there. This is a chance to earn work-study money while helping in the surrounding community.
