Bachelor’s and graduate degrees
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $5,000 award. Up to 16 awards will be granted. Awards are renewable up to one year or until a bachelor’s or graduate degree is earned, whichever occurs first, on the basis of satisfactory academic performance and continued eligibility (including pursuit of a degree in an eligible field at an eligible school). Awards may transfer from a bachelor’s to a graduate degree if the recipient enrolls in graduate study the upcoming academic year.
Vocational-technical degrees
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $2,500 award. Up to 16 awards will be granted.
