Selection Process

Scholarships are distributed using a lottery system. Completing an application does not guarantee that you will receive a scholarship. The application closes on March 25, 2024 and you will be notified on March 29, 2024 of one of three possible outcomes: scholarship recipient, waitlist, or not selected for a scholarship. If you are waitlisted, you will be contacted if a recipient does not accept their scholarship, or if additional scholarships are funded.
