Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of the Ware Malcomb Foundation. Payments are made in one installment in early August to recipients in U.S. and Canada and via wire transfer to recipients outside of U.S. and Canada. Award payments are issued in U.S. currency.

*Per IRS Revenue Procedure 76-47, the employment eligibility requirement does not apply to previous recipients.

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic record
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
  • Work experience
  • Statement of educational and career goals and objectives
  • Unusual personal or family circumstances
  • An online recommendation

Ware Malcomb values teamwork, design, creativity, community involvement, entrepreneurship and the pursuit of excellence. Consideration will be given to children and dependents of Ware Malcomb employees who emulate these values.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of the Ware Malcomb Foundation play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
