Monica Heiberg has established a scholarship program to assist students from the state of Washington who are planning to continue their undergraduate education pursuing a degree in a STEM field at a college or university in the state of Washington.
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.
Applicants to the Andreas Heiberg Scholarship must:
*Medical-related fields are not eligible.
Descendants and their spouses of Andreas Heiberg are not eligible.
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $3,000 award. Up to 15 awards will be granted.
Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
Recipients will be expected to send a note of appreciation to the sponsor.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
All applicants will be notified in late April.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of the sponsor. Payment is made in early August.
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
*Essay topic: How do you think that receiving this scholarship could make an impact and help you achieve your goals?
Financial need is not considered.
Assuming there are qualified applicants, preference will be given to applicants with Scandinavian heritage.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does the sponsor play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. 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 and credit hours for each course and term in which each course was taken.
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 an official copy of those test scores separately. If you are uploading a college transcript, those scores are not required.
Two online recommendation forms must be submitted on your behalf no later than March 6, 2023 3:00 pm Central Time. One recommendation should be completed by a school official and one should be completed by a community member or work supervisor.
Your application is not complete unless all required materials are submitted electronically.
