An Applicant Record is data populated from your official student file on record with Admissions and Records. All students who have Las Positas College as their Official College of Record will have data posted here directly from your student file. Students who have Chabot College as their Official College of Record will show “No answer provided”. If you are a Las Positas Student and you do not see data populated in your Applicant Record, you must correct your college of record as soon as possible so that your information will be extracted.

If your college of record is officially Chabot but you are primarily attending LPC, you may complete the Major Change Request Form (pdf) to switch your college of record. Submit the form to the LPC Financial Aid Office. You may also change your academic program on this form, or other personal information that will update your official record.

It is important you review Address, Phone, Official Major, Official College of Record, and Residency. If any of the information on this page is inaccurate you may not be appropriately matched to available scholarships which rely on accurate information from your student record. You cannot edit this information from the scholarship portal, it must be corrected in your official student records.

It is very important for you to correct your data and submit the form to the Admissions and Records Office or Financial Aid Office to update your file as soon as possible; you will not be able to complete the scholarship application process until the changes have been made. *Chabot students who are applying for the Barbara & David Mertes Memorial Allied Health Scholarship: if your official major is not an Allied Health major, you will need to change your major at Chabot’s Admissions and Records Office to your correct Allied Health major in order to be considered for the scholarship.

 * Chabot students must apply by submitting an online application at https://chabotcollege.awardspring.com/

After completing the General Application (and any Conditional Applications that you may be presented), you will be directed to the Recommended Opportunities where you will see any Apply-To opportunities for which the system determines that you may be qualified for.

Recommended: Under “Opportunities” you might see scholarship opportunities recommended to you after you have completed the General Application. These scholarships need additional action on your part to receive consideration. Select “Recommended” under “Opportunities” to complete additional requirements. Recommended does not guarantee you will receive a scholarship.

Under “Opportunities” there is a list of all scholarship opportunities within the system. This list shows all scholarships, not only the scholarships for which you are receiving consideration. Under “Actions”, if “None” then this is an auto-matched scholarship. If “Apply” you must complete additional questions to be considered. You can then click “Apply” for any of these opportunities that you have not yet applied for. Matching to an opportunity does not guarantee you will receive the scholarship.

The “Deadline” column indicates the deadline to complete the General Application in order to receive consideration.

Award Amount: The number and award amount of scholarships are for general information purposes only and should not be considered a guarantee of what you will receive if selected. Actual award amounts vary based on students’ individual eligibility, funds available, and other factors.

Once you complete the General Application and any recommended applications you will see that each of the applications on your dashboard shows a status of “Submitted”.

You can log out of the system knowing your information will be reviewed and forwarded to the assigned committee and/or department.

A confirmation email will be sent to you anytime you have an application move to a submitted category. This includes submission of: General Applications, Conditional Applications (if applicable), Post-Acceptance applications or Apply-to applications.

You can check back in the system regularly to see if any new scholarships were added.
