Return for the submission instructions

Keep the dates in view
The next application deadline is March 15, 2027 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (America/New_York). The scholarship recipient is scheduled to be announced March 30, 2027.
The application link, administrator contact, required eligibility documents, payment process, and application privacy information will be published before submissions open. No application or academic record can be submitted through the current website.
A random drawing among eligible applicants
After the deadline, complete applications will be checked against the published eligibility criteria. Each verified eligible applicant receives one entry in a random drawing. No essay, application fee, purchase, or donation is required. GPA is an eligibility requirement; a GPA above 3.0 does not earn extra entries.
One application per person, per year
Duplicate submissions do not create additional entries. Previous recipients are not eligible for another award. Eligible students who have not received the scholarship may apply again in a future annual cycle.
Confirmation and alternates
The selected applicant will be contacted using the details supplied in the application and given 72 hours from the time notification is sent to respond and accept the award. If the applicant declines, does not respond, or cannot verify eligibility, the next applicant in the randomly drawn alternate order will be contacted. The draw and verification steps will be recorded by the scholarship administrator.
The March 30 announcement
The recipient announcement is scheduled for March 30, 2027, after eligibility and acceptance are confirmed. If confirmation is still in progress, an update will be posted here. If no eligible applications are received, that will also be reported. Applicant records will remain private; any public recipient profile or photograph requires separate permission.
These rules describe the planned application cycle. Applications are not yet open. The official application link and data-handling information will be published on this page before submissions begin.
