DESCRIPTION

The scholarships for undergraduates are $2,500 per year ($1,250 if you have half a semester) and can be renewed for up to three years. Graduate awards are $3,750 annually up to a maximum of $7,500.

The application will open July 1, 2020 and must be submitted by midnight EST on November 1, 2020. This scholarship is for the 2021-2022 academic year that begins fall 2021. If you are selected as a finalist, you will be notified in February 2021. The next step is an interview with a contractor in your area. Following the interview, scholarship recipients will be selected and announced in March 2021. Students will receive their awards in the fall of 2021.

There are two very important things to remember:
1.) You must meet the criteria to apply as an Undergraduate or Graduate.
2.) Make sure that your recommenders (one teacher and one employer) know that you are requesting their recommendation. Your application is not considered submitted until all sections are complete and you hit the ‘Submit’ button at the bottom of the page. You will receive a confirmation email when your application has been submitted.
