Missing deadlines may result in the loss of program benefits. For example, seniors may not be eligible for certain scholarships. Students might not be recognized (with certificates, for example) at school programs. Finally, late forms may cause the student to lose continuous enrollment in the program.

FYI-You can turn in hours to Crosby Scholars that you have completed for other groups. You do not have to do extra or "special" hours for Crosby Scholars. If you have completed hours for JROTC, Beta Club, Scouts, or other groups, they will most likely count for Crosby Scholars, too!
