The goal of the Scholarship Program is to help ease the burden of college costs, not fully cover the costs of attending a university. Scholarship awards are based on several factors, not including family income. Scholarships are available for public, in-state, or city college/university tuition. Scholarships are not renewable and award amounts can and do fluctuate. Scholarships are never guaranteed.
Scope and Intent of the Policy
Scholarship Awards use the term “Scholarship Awards” to refer to grants that pay for individuals to attend a public educational institution. This school has a faculty, a student body, a physical location in curriculum in science, technology, engineering, or math.
Students in/beyond their second semester may apply for scholarships. We do not intend to grant scholarships for first semester students. Initial grants are $2500.00 per semester, based on the prior semester studies with a grade point average of “B” or better
