Scholarship
Cosmotek College believes that the talents, hopes, and ambitions of all people are among our nation most valued possessions. With this thought, this school continues to promote scholarship, and grants for qualified, deserving students, who would normally be deprived of a college education because of inadequate funds, to attend college. In awarding funds to eligible students, the amount and the type of self-help will be related to the circumstances of the individual and the largest amount of grant assistance will be offered to students with the least ability to pay. Grants do not have to be repaid.
