  2. Let the Donor Know

    Your scholarship donor will make the check payable to Angelo State University on your behalf. To ensure speedy processing of your scholarship award, provide the donor with your ASU Campus ID (CID) number and our mailing address.

    When our office receives and processes a check for you, we will send you an award notice to your ASU email account.

    • Click on “Registration.”
    • Select the “View Schedule” icon at the top of the page.
    • Select the appropriate term and click “Submit.”

    The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships cannot release proof of enrollment to donors due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

  4. Keep Up with Your Outside Scholarships

    We keep a list of your Outside Scholarships as resources on RamPort. To follow the progress of your outside scholarships, please follow the steps below.

    • Log in to RamPort.
    • Click on “Financial Aid & Billing.”
    • Click the “View/Accept Financial Aid Awards” button.
    • Select the appropriate term and click “Submit.”
    • Select the “Resources/Additional Information” tab.

    In the example below, the student let us know he would receive scholarships from the Norris Foundation and Burger King. Our office received the Burger King check and processed it as indicated by the cash receipt (CR) number beside the scholarship name. Our office has not received the Norris Foundation check yet as there is not a CR number beside the name.

    Resources table showing Burger King and Norris Foundation scholarships in the amount of $500 for the Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 semesters.

  5. Awarding of Your Scholarships

    Our office will process scholarships exactly as the donor outlines. Should the donor not specify which term(s) the funds should be disbursed, we will automatically award funds as indicated below.

    • Awards of $500 or Less - Fall only or Spring only
    • Awards greater than $500 - Split between the Fall/Spring semesters

How Scholarships Affect Other Forms of Financial Aid

Scholarships may impact existing financial aid awards, so the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships will review your continued eligibility for federal, state and institutional grant/loan programs with every scholarship awarded.
