+ How does it work?

After one or more donors have provided the minimum funds, our scholarship team will work with you to determine the criteria for the scholarship. We will announce the scholarship and facilitate the application process. Based on your criteria, our existing scholarship committee will review applications and select the recipient/s, who will be announced at the annual scholarship ceremony in June. You will be notified of the winner and, if additional funds are raised, we will continue to notify you and work with you to either increase the scholarship amount or award additional scholarships as appropriate.

+ HOW MUCH DO I NEED TO DONATE?

A new scholarship requires a gift of $1,500 to start with. This can be a one-time gift from a single donor, or can be raised through multiple gifts from multiple donors. To continue the legacy, we suggest a gift of $7,500 to cover at least one $1,500 scholarship per year over the next 5 years. Either way, we can get started after the initial $1,500 gift is received.

+ HOW IS THE SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED?

Once the minimum gift has been made, the family can set the criteria for the award. Potential criteria include: a GPA requirement, a required number of enrolled hours, membership in a specific club or program, and/or working toward a degree in a specified field.

After the criteria is determined the scholarship committee will select the recipient. Criteria must be finalized by mid-February for applications to be submitted in April and to award the scholarship in June.

Donors may request annual updates on how much was raised and awarded scholarships.
