Scholars are encouraged to begin graduated study as soon as possible following graduation from college, and must utilize all of the funding within five years of completion of undergraduate studies. Participating institutions may nominate one candidate per year for the scholarship. Nominations from campus liaisons are due on the last Friday in March.
