Applicants must provide: their own and/or their parent's most recent Federal Tax Return documents (consideration is given for applicants with demonstrated financial need); three letters of recommendation from a professional and/or academic contact; and the most recent, or current, semester’s report card or transcript. Applications open in the fall and run until the due date. The amounts vary per award; however, the most common scholarship awards we give out are $5,000 or $6,250 a year.
