Important Information Regarding Scholarship Award Displacement Prevention Laws
*Maryland Public Higher Institutions - This law only protects undergraduate students at Maryland public higher institutions.
*New Jersey Public Higher Institutions (Starting Fall 2022 academic year) - This law only protects students attending New Jersey public higher institutions. In February 2023, New Jersey introduced an amendment bill to expand the ban to all institutions in New Jersey.
* Washington Public and Private Higher Institutions (Starting Fall 2022 academic year) - This law only protects students at Washington public and private universities that participate in state student financial aid programs. Note: This law does not apply to public community and technical colleges.
*Pennsylvania Public Higher Institutions (Starting Fall 2022 academic year) - This law only protects students attending Pennsylvania public higher institutions.
*California Public and Private Higher Institutions (Starting 2023-2024 academic year) - This law only protects students attending California public and private who qualify for the Pell Grant or state financial aid under the California Dream Act. Cal Grants are NOT covered under this law. Our organization has received several inquiries from families who have become victims of scholarship award displacement because their students received a Cal Grant. California higher institutions are eliminating institutional scholarships if a student receives a Cal Grant. We have met with the California Financial Aid Commission, and they have told us they do not have the "legal authority" to tell higher institutions to stop practicing scholarship award displacement when it comes to the Cal grant. Therefore, please be aware of this before accepting the Cal Grant. If you have any questions, please reach out to us.

DISSCHOLARED Scholarship Displacement Emergency Fund: Our organization established the DISSCHOLARED Scholarship Displacement Emergency Fund to support students who have experienced scholarship displacement. This fund is designed to support those who have faced a lack of protection from their scholarship providers. All recipients of the fund will undergo a scholarship displacement prevention training. Moreover, the students will be empowered with effective advocacy strategies to help dismantle scholarship displacement nationwide.
We'll be able to:
- Provide emergency support to students who have become victims of scholarship displacement. The fund will ensure students do not have to go into additional student loan debt because they won a scholarship.
- Provide educational and professional development support to students who have become victims of scholarship displacement.
