Mingus School officials say College waits until July to notify students
Based on information received by Ms. Ruth Wicks, it is now estimated that five students at Mingus High School received scholarships from Yavapai College this year. Ms. Wicks was informed that the Mingus students were not recognized at the High School’s Scholarship and Academic Honors Ceremony because Yavapai College does not award the scholarships until July, which is long after graduation. The Yavapai College Foundation Scholarship application deadline is June 1.
She was also informed that Mingus students who are accepted into the Honors Program at the College are notified in April. In the class of 2017, Mingus did not have any seniors who were accepted into the Honors Program at Yavapai College.
This explains why a list of Yavapai Community College Scholarships did not appear at the Scholarship and Academic Honors Ceremony at the High School earlier this year.
