Selection Process

Applications are carefully reviewed by our Scholarship Selection Committee, with awards based primarily on demonstrated financial need and available funding.

Finalists may be invited to speak with a committee member to share their story and further demonstrate their need. All awards are contingent upon verification of guardian income.

Selected students must submit all required documentation by the designated deadline before receiving their scholarship certificate at the Annual Scholarship Luncheon.

We are committed to providing students with the support and resources they need to prepare for college and succeed.
