Following the application deadline, the Foundation will begin the review process. Applicants who were selected to receive a scholarship will be notified by mid-May. If additional information is needed, you will be contacted.

Volunteer scholarship selection committees review all applications and select recipients based on availability of funds and the competitiveness of the applicant pool. Competition for scholarships is strong and meeting minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee funding.
