This merit-based scholarship fund will award $500 each to 2 deserving full-time students who display both academic achievement and leadership in extracurricular activities. We’re looking for passion and depth rather than breadth: How have you really achieved within your specific area of interest or expertise? Have you held internships or fellowships in your desired field of work? Have you held leadership roles in your school clubs? Showcase your achievements, experiences, and background in a short essay. Also as part of the application process, we’ll ask you for your GPA, transcript, and 1 letter of recommendation. There’s no financial need requirement for this scholarship so students of all income levels should apply.
