Submit Scholarship Application (closed for 2025)

First register for an account. Note: if you applied last year, you will still need to create a new account for this year. Last years documents will not be available either.  You will need to upload them again.  After you register, administration will activate your account. Please check your email for notification.

An application is incomplete until the required references and transcripts have been received. Unaltered official transcripts may be uploaded by the student, or they may be emailed directly to the Scholarship Chair if the school requires it. Applicants may not submit their own letters of recommendation. We will give you a special link to provide others so they may submit references on your behalf.

As part of your Application package you will be required to write and submit two(2) essays as outlined below.  You will be able to upload them using the applicant portal after submitting your application.
