CoLAB’s Digital Tech Credential Scholarship Application - Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies
The CoLAB's Digital Tech Credential Scholarship ($2,500/student) exists for students enrolled (or planning to enroll) in the CoLAB Digital Tech Credential. Students pursuing the Business and Entrepreneurship concentration will likely be a natural fit for this scholarship given that the requirements for the Digital Tech Credential and the BALS B/E concentration are similar. Please see the second bullet point below for more information on the credential enrollment requirements. All eligible students are welcome to apply. Preference will be given to members of groups that are underrepresented in the digital tech profession.

Eligibility Requirements:

-Each Scholarship recipient shall be currently enrolled or an accepted student in a degree seeking program at the University.

-Each Scholarship recipient shall be currently pursuing or intend to pursue one of the Digital Tech Credentials. *If you are not enrolled in the Digital Tech Credential, please visit the CoLab's website for information concerning enrolling in the CoLAB student community (here: https://capitalcolab.com/community/) and requirements for the Digital Tech Credential (here: https://greaterwashingtonpartnership.hubspotpagebuilder.com/dtc-course-pathways). **BALS students who are pursuing the Business and Entrepreneurship concentration will automatically fulfill the Digital Tech Credential course requirements as the 6 required courses are required for the B/E concentration.

-Each Scholarship recipient shall be in good academic standing as defined by the University (GPA of 2.0 or greater).

-Each Scholarship recipient shall satisfy such additional requirements as are designated by the University, which requirements include but are not limited to:
   o Interest in pursuing a digital tech career;
   o Having a FAFSA on file at the University;
   o Demonstration of financial need; provided that, such each additional requirement is in furtherance of and consistent with the Scholarship’s Purpose.

-Applicants for renewal of a Scholarship shall also demonstrate to the University’s satisfaction progress toward earning a Digital Tech Credential.
