The Big Dog Committee meets once a year in June to award scholarships. We also meet during that time to review all current students receiving Big Dog funding. The committee will review their application materials, grades and financial aid award letter. This allows us to gain more context on the student's financial need, academic commitment and personal character. Once decisions are made all recipients are asked to come to campus to sign their contracts and tell us how they are going to "give back" or "pay back" the loan portion of the award. A percentage of the award is loan, so we ask the students to "pay back" this portion by volunteering at KIPP schools. KIPP Through College (KTC) will make check requests for all students once they arrive on their college campuses in the fall. The Big Dog award is split into two disbursements: fall semester and spring semesters. KTC will wait for the students fall semester grades to be mailed to us in January by the student before requesting the second half of the award for the spring semester. A student can renew their award if they are in good academic standing and giving back to KIPP. KTC works with the students to ensure that we have their spring semester grades.
