This year marks the second year of stipend offerings to past high school seniors previously awarded COG graduation scholarships.
Stipend scholarship notices were emailed to previous scholarship recipients graduating high school between 2018 and 2021 in time for start of the fall 2022 semester.
Requirements of past scholarship awardees were grade-point average of 3.0 or higher and had to have completed 12 hours during spring 2022 semester.
In August, 12 $500 stipends were gifted to past COG college scholarship recipients.
Nine of the recipients had GPAs of 3.12 or higher; three of the recipients amassed 4.0 GPAs.
