About this scholarship

Most of the Foundation’s scholarships fall into this “general” category and the same application form can be used for all of these scholarships. To be eligible for most of these scholarships, students must reside in our 21-town area, possess a B- or higher cumulative academic average, and plan to attend an accredited college or university in the United States for undergraduate studies (as a new, returning or current college student). Additionally, in order to apply for the Foundation’s general scholarships as a new applicant, students must have a FAFSA Student Aid Index (SAI) below $40,000. However, some scholarships may have unique eligibility criteria or exceptions, so please carefully review our complete list of general scholarships.
