Eligibility Requirements:

Awards are based on the following criteria:

  • Completed* online application form

    • You will submit your impact statement on the last step of the application form.
    • Tip: It works well to write your application separately, and then cut and paste the essay in the online scholarship form.
  • Academic performance
  • Financial need: You must have current FAFSA on file.

* Partial applications will not be saved in the system: Once you begin your application, you will need to complete it in its entirety.
