What is the deadline for application? When can a student apply for the scholarship?

The deadline to have the entire, complete application submitted with all supporting documentation is April 1 of each year. Students and their parents/guardians may begin the application process starting October 1 of the preceding year.

How does a student complete the application?

The application process begins by notifying your school's senior guidance counselor. Once notified, the student may begin the online application.
