2017 Scholarship Application Period Is Now Open!

January 17, 2017

We have launched an online application system that is new in 2017.  The application submission period is now live and we hope you will apply or share the information with those who may be eligible.  All applications must be submitted through the online system for consideration.  Applicants register for a free account, and then are able to log in, save work as they go, and complete the application in phases. There are no fees to submit an application.  Recent generous estate donations have made this possible.  We are excited about the ease of use and hope to receive more applications than ever before in 2017.  Undergrad and Graduate applications are due by April 30, 2017 and Post-Graduate applications are due by May 15, 2017.
