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. Awards for this fellowship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or national origin.

Up to two full-ride awards will be granted, assuming there are qualified applicants. If the applicant pool allows, one award will be granted for Biomedical Engineering and one award will be granted for Optical and Quantum Sciences.
Awards are intended to cover: tuition, fees, books, and supplies. Award amounts will be determined based on the cost of attendance as determined by each recipient’s college or university plus stipends for books, and supplies. Recipients must submit their cost of attendance before each academic year. If recipients have changes to their enrollment mid-year, their award amount may be adjusted.
