Selection: Recipients will be selected to receive a scholarship through a competitive process based on academic achievement, the quality of writing, and the applicant’s commitment, motivation, and potential for success in the field.

Award: Scholarship awards will be paid directly to a recipient’s college or university and can be applied toward tuition and fees only. Please note that award disbursement is contingent upon the outside scholarship acceptance policies of a recipient’s school. Automatic renewals for this scholarship do not take place, nor is awarding guaranteed simply because a recipient received the award previously. A student may re-apply for the opportunity if they have previously received the award, and if they have been, there is the opportunity to be awarded more than one time. The scholarship is to apply toward tuition and fees only. Recipients may defer their award for up to one academic year.
