COS scholarship requests are processed approximately every quarter. This application should only be submitted after successful completion of one or more course of study or advanced course of study classes. If necessary, an applicant can submit more than one application throughout the year. A request will not be paid if submitted more than nine (9) months following the completion of the course. Including the time needed for processing the check request and mail delivery, this means that it can take up to 4-6 weeks after a request is submitted before the check is mailed.
