Applicants must demonstrate financial need. Applications must include an essay explaining how the scholarship would be used. Selection will be based on application contents and financial need.
Guidelines: Applications must be submitted by the deadline below to be considered for that semester.
Amount: 24 scholarships of $1,000 will be awarded in 2021. Scholarships are not renewable, however, non-selected applicants may re-apply.
