Helping Our Most Deserving Students

These scholarships help some of our most brilliant students access the college or trade/technical education they’re reaching for.

Review Process

A selection committee will evaluate the applications using a scoring rubric that reflects the eligibility criteria. Every effort will be made to ensure a balanced distribution throughout all high schools.
