Application Form

UPDATE – May 16, 2022 

The scholarship application period has ended for the 2022-23 academic year. 

If you missed the May 15, 2022 deadline, please visit us again next year to submit your application for the 2023-24 academic year.  =========================================================

All applicants must fill out the online application here. No other forms of the application will be accepted. The online application cannot be partially saved if incomplete. If you exit and fail to complete it, it requires you to start over when you return. To make your application time more efficient, we suggest that you have all of the information available when you begin (see instructions below).  Unfortunately, for renewals, we cannot refer to prior years’ applications for information.  All questions must be answered for the application to be considered complete.

All required materials must be received
no later than May 15, 2022 in order to be considered.

For RENEWAL APPLICATIONS:  Please be advised that after May 5th, it will be the applicant’s sole responsibility to ensure all required documentation is provided by the May 15 deadline, including: an appropriate photo (one you’d use for a job interview or a LinkedIn profile), an official transcript with your grades through Fall of 2021, and your 2022-23 FAFSA REPORT (which contains the EFC figure).  We will not be able to provide notification if any of this information is missing from a renewal submission after May 5th – the application will simply not qualify for consideration of a scholarship for 2022-23.  Unfortunately, there are simply too many renewal applications being received close to the deadline and we do not have enough manpower to conduct thorough, immediate reviews of each application received at that late date.
