If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an award ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

Past academic performance and future potential
