To apply for the scholarships, you will need to fill out this Google form. You only need to fill out the form once, and then the scholarship committee will consider you for all scholarships for which you are eligible. As part of the application, you will need to upload the following documents:

• College Acceptance Letter
• Resume of Activities, awards and achievements
• Student Aid Report (EFC Verification) from FAFSA

You will also need to write a brief statement about your educational/career goals and how one of these scholarships would help you achieve your goals. Please note that you cannot save your progress on the form and come back to it later, so you will want to gather all of these documents and write your essay ahead of time so you can paste it into the document.

The application deadline is Sunday, April 2nd, 2023 at 11:59 PM, and no late applications will be accepted. So, go ahead and get started on these now!
