Students who have been accepted to attend—as well as full-time students currently attending—an accredited two-year or four-year American university or college may apply. There is no age or specified major requirement.

Each semester, one recipient will receive a $1,000 scholarship to help pay for their educational expenses. The scholarship will be sent directly to the school’s financial aid office.

Submissions will be reviewed by a panel of independent judges. The winner will be announced by Aug 1st for fall semester and December 1st for spring semester. The scholarship panel will also notify winners directly via email.

The awarded scholarship funds are to be used for tuition only. Once a winner is selected, they must first send a receipt for the semester’s tuition. Afterwards, a check will be written to the recipient’s enrolled school to fund academic costs. The scholarship is non-renewable and is only good for a one-semester cycle. Recipients are eligible to receive the scholarship only once during their lifetime.
