Who can apply

Homeschool note: this award seems to need an accredited school, class rank or a school nomination. Ask the sponsor whether a homeschool transcript and a parent’s counselor letter are accepted; many say yes when asked.

How to apply

Open this listing in the Scholarship Finder for the application page and contact details. This foundation has no website; most small foundations take applications by mail or through the local high school’s counseling office. A short, polite letter asking for the application works well.
