Scholarship funds may be used at Title IV-approved, two or four year colleges and universities, and at some vocational schools, graduate and proffesional schools.

Scholarship funds are awarded for full-time study during the academic year only, and funds are not available for summer sessions, special projects or programs, research, part-time programs, or for any school determined to be unacceptable. Awards are made for one academic year only, and applicants must re-apply each year if they wish to be considered for funds for subsequent years. Generally, applicants mat not recieve more than four years of scholarship assistance from the Scholarship Foundation.

Applications are available each year beginning December 1st and are due back by January 31st. Applications are not available the rest of the year.
