This 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.

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $5,000 award. Up to (5) five awards will be granted. Recipients will be required to participate in webinars, meetings and email correspondence scheduled by Toyota.

Awards are renewable up to three years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first, on the basis of satisfactory academic performance (maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale), full-time enrollment, and participation in scheduled webinars, meetings and email correspondence.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.
