Scholarship Frequently Asked Questions:

Are students attending technical centers/vocational technical centers (not a college or university) eligible for scholarship?
No

I will graduate before I receive my scholarship funds, can I still apply for a scholarship?
If you graduate before the scholarship can be awarded you do not qualify. NEWH issues scholarships through your school. The award is to help defray the cost of tuition, books, fees and other related educational needs incurred by you. Should you leave school for any reason (including graduation); any and all surplus funds in your account are to be returned to NEWH, Inc. Under certain circumstances your situation may still qualify (example: if you would be graduating 3-4 months prior to the scholarship being awarded and you would have current debt at the school you are attending the check could then be issued to the school to pay towards that debt).

Are students who attend 2 year or 4 year interior design programs that are not CIDA accredited eligible to apply for the NEWH scholarship?
NEWH gives scholarships to two-year and certificate programs that are related to the hospitality industry, college or university is not part of the criteria. “An eligible school is defined as one that will hold the scholarship moneys in trust for the student to draw down upon on an “as needed” basis”. The school must be an accredited institution. CIDA is not the only accrediting agent. If the school or program is accredited by any approved CHEA or USDE agency, then it is accredited.
