deadline for all applications is May 15, 2008. Scholarships
are given for attendance at accredited technical schools,
colleges and universities only.
In
awarding scholarships, the Committee will take into account the
applicant’s prior academic performance, results of tests designed
to measure ability and aptitude, recommendations, financial need,
personal character, ability and motivation of the applicant. All
applicants are expected to also apply for financial aid through
FAFSA, www.fafsa.ed.gov. Applicants
are also required to take out up to a $2,500 loan to pay for their
own education. The amount of the loan that is needed to meet the
requirements is dependent on whether it is a four year institution.
All students attending four year colleges and universities will
need to carry a $2,500 loan each academic year.
Please
be aware that any falsifying of the application, transcripts or
letters of reference constitutes fraud and will result in immediate
dismissal from the scholarship program with the possibility of criminal
charges being filed.
In general, the program is intended to provide scholarships to individuals
who are not likely to obtain the requested assistance from more
conventional sources. Students who may benefit significantly from
the financial support are given priority.
