The Prairie Club Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.
This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance 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 are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability, or national origin.
Applicants to the Prairie Club Foundation Scholarship Program must:

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an award of $5,000.00. Up to 1 award will be granted. Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon maintaining a minimum grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale (or the equivalent) in a full-time course of study, continued employment, and continuation of the program by The Prairie Club Foundation.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, work experience, a statement of educational and career goals and objectives, unusual personal or family circumstances, and an online recommendation.
Financial need is not considered.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of The Prairie Club Foundation Scholarship Program 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.
All applicants will be notified in late July.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of The Prairie Club Foundation. Payment is made in August.
