Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Snipes. Payment is made in early August.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

Academic record
Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
A statement of educational and career goals and objectives
Unusual personal or family circumstances
An online recommendation

Financial need will be considered. Recipients must demonstrate need.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Snipes play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

As part of your application, you must upload the following:

A current, complete transcript of grades. Grade reports are not accepted. Transcripts must display:

Student name
School name
Grades
Credit hours for each course and term in which each course was taken.

If you are experiencing difficulty obtaining a transcript, please reach out directly to snipes@scholarshipamerica.org and the program manager will work with you!

NOTE: If you are providing SAT or ACT test scores, and those scores are not listed on your high school transcript, you will need to upload a copy of your test score report(s) separately. If you are uploading a college transcript, those scores are not required.

One online recommendation form must be submitted on your behalf no later than January 22, 2025 3:00 pm Central Time.
