Most of the Foundation's scholarships fall into the General/Regional category and the same application form can be used for all of these scholarships. To be eligible for most of these scholarships, students must reside in our 21-town area, possess a B- or higher cumulative academic average, and plan to attend an accredited college or university in the United States for undergraduate studies (as a new, returning or current college student). Additionally, in order to apply for the Foundation's general scholarships as a new applicant, students must have a FAFSA Student Aid Index (SAI) below a certain level. However, some scholarships may have unique eligibility criteria or exceptions, so please carefully review our complete list of scholarship funds. The Foundation also awards a smaller number of "special scholarships" that have unique application criteria and review processes. Please visit our website to learn more.
