Applications Accepted Until April 11th for 14th Annual Awards

CHARLOTTE, N.C.  – Once again, Big South Corporate Partner Sunbelt Rentals is offering scholarships to Big South students entering their final semesters as an undergraduate.  Applications for the scholarship are now being accepted on   under the ���Sunbelt Rentals Scholarship��� tab on the home page, which also includes the criteria for the award.  The deadline for applications is Tuesday, April 11, 2023.

To qualify, students must be enrolled in a Big South member institution and be entering their final semesters as an undergraduate. The scholarship recognizes students of underrepresented populations including women, minorities, disabled students, as well as current and former military personnel. Two scholarship recipients will be awarded $4,000 from Sunbelt Rentals, with the scholarship applied to expenses associated with their final semesters as an undergraduate. A committee of Big South Conference officials, representatives from member institutions and Sunbelt Rentals executives selects the recipients of the scholarships.
