Adam Scripps Foundation Scholars Program
Application status: Closed

The Adam R. Scripps Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist seniors in Fredericksburg Independent School District who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

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 Adam Scripps Foundation Scholars program must:

  • Reside in the State of Texas as of the application deadline date.
  • Be high school seniors in Fredericksburg Independent School District in Texas.
  • Plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year. (Preference will be given to students planning to attend schools in the state of Texas)

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $2,000 award. Up to 100 awards will be granted. Awards are one-time only. Recipients may not reapply.

Awards are for undergraduate study only at a two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school.

Notification

All applicants will be notified in late April.

Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of the Adam R. Scripps Foundation. Payment is made in August.

Selection of Recipients

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

Financial need is not considered.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America.

Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
