All deadlines are final. Missing them will disqualify you. Therefore, please start the scholarship application process early and be in touch frequently with your school counselor and recommenders.

You will be notified in May via email. Your school will also be informed, and recipients are celebrated in press announcements.

Once your scholarship is sent to your school in July, you can request semester-specific allocation directly through your financial aid office. The Takitani Foundation will issue the scholarship check in its entirety in July.

See the Changing Schools section. The original check must be returned before we can reissue payment.

No. Funds are paid to your school.

You can defer your award or request your school to use it for other eligible costs or to reduce loans. You will not be eligible to apply for a renewal scholarship until your initial Legacy award has been expended. The deadline to expend the Legacy award is summer at the end of your sophomore year.

Some schools allow reimbursement for travel. Policies vary—contact your financial aid office.

If you are the recipient of a Takitani Legacy Scholarship award of $3,000 or above, you may apply for a renewal scholarship once you have spent down your Legacy scholarship award.
