| Kirchner Scholarship Trust Fund |
The Kirchner Scholarship Trust Fund seeks to help academically oriented students with documented financial need to continue their education by awarding scholarships in the amount of $1,000 (consecutive $500 per long term semester). Funds from the scholarship are to help defray the cost of attending classes at SWTJC.
SWTJC students who meet the following criteria are eligible to apply:
1. are pursuing an associate in art degree at SWTJC with the goal of securing a bachelor's degree;
2. during the semester in which the award is made, are enrolled for a minimum of twelve semester hours exclusive of developmental courses;
3. have completed or will complete a minimum of 30 semester hours at SWTJC, exclusive of developmental courses, with a cumulative GPA of 3.00;
4. have established financial aid need for the semester in which the award will be made by completing the appropriate financial aid application;
5. are willing to acknowledge a moral obligation to return to the scholarship fund an amount equivalent to the amount awarded. No time limitation is designated.
Number of awards available is based on the availability of funds. Priority in awarding will be given to residents of the tri-county area of Uvalde, Real, and Zavala counties. Students must complete a minimum of twelve semester hours with a minimum GPA of 3.00 to qualify for the second semester $500 award. Maximum student award from this fund is $1,000. Applications should be made directly to SWTJC Financial Aid Office.
