What is established, and what is proposed
The certificate, its four courses, the twelve credits, and the C-or-better rule are established academic facts from the SCF catalog. The sponsored cohort — 10 scholarships at a $1,500 target each — is a community proposal. Start dates, funding, admission, and participant selection are not confirmed.
