Section I

How to Apply

There is no application form used in the selection process. Information regarding the scholarship is given to the schools over the phone. The school then makes the students aware of the scholarship opportunity. Following this, the school makes recommendations to the board of directors and from there the recipient is chosen.

On Unsolicited Proposals yes

Restrictions

There is no particular requirement. Most schools that recipients attend are on a quarter basis. At the end of each quarter the grades will be reviewed based on forward progress (not necessarily by the grade) and the next quarterly grant will be approved. When reviewing the grades, if it is determined that forward progress is not being made, then the next quarterly grant will not be approved.
