Application Process

The application is located on RamPort in the Employee Benefits section on the Employee Page. The following are the steps to the application, approval, and fund disbursement process:

  1. The employee is required to submit the Employee Dependent Scholarship application one time only for each dependent. Submit by Aug. 1, if the dependent will begin ASU in the fall semester; submit by Jan. 15, if the dependent did not attend in the fall but will attend beginning spring semester. (Submitting in August will cover submission for both semesters.) For new applicants (applying for the scholarship for the first time), the application on RamPort will be available March 1 each year for the following fall semester.
  2. The Office of Human Resources will verify the employee’s eligibility and his/her dependent’s status.
  3. The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships will verify the dependent’s academic eligibility.
  4. Once all requirements have been verified and approved, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships will disburse funds.
  5. The Employee Dependent Scholarship funds are disbursed on enrollment of a minimum 12 hours (each student is awarded a maximum of $500 in the fall and $500 in the spring).

Renewal Process

  1. The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships will verify that the dependent has met the requirements for continued participation (below).
  2. The Office of Human Resources will verify the employee’s continued eligibility and his/her dependent’s status.
