About This Scholarship

The scholarship recipients may apply to the Selection Committee for annual renewal for three additional years if attending a four-year university or for one additional year if attending a community college. If the recipient graduating from a community college elects to continue his or her education at a four-year university that recipient may apply to the Selection Committee for renewal of the scholarship annually for two additional years with an annual scholarship amount of $4,000.00.
