FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
- HOW DO I APPLY?
Go to the Requirements page, read & fulfill all the
requirements and send the application to the address above.
- SHOULD THE RECOMMENDATION LETTER BE SENT SEPARATELY?
No. We actually prefer
them to be sent together so letter and application may be matched easily.
- IF I AM PROVIDING A TRANSCRIPT, DO I NEED TO SEND AN OFFICIAL COPY?
No. A
regular Xerox copy of the transcript will be sufficient as long as the
university name is visible.
- WHAT IF I AM A GRADUATE STUDENT?
Unfortunately, the scholarship is only for
undergraduates.
- WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE?
We prefer the license, but
will accept a passport along with proof of residence in its place.
- WHAT IF MY PARENTS (OR I) HAVEN'T FILED A 1040 FOR LAST YEAR YET?
Please wait
until the 1040 is available and submit them together.
- WHAT IF MY APPLICATION ARRIVES JUST AFTER THE DEADLINE?
It will be eligible
for next year's scholarship (as long as another year of undergraduate education
is planned).
- WHAT CONSTITUTES "NEED"?
Unfortunately, the answer to that question
is relative to other applications. We base need upon several different factors
and need only accounts for a portion of the overall equation. If you feel you
have an otherwise strong application, don't withhold your submission based upon
moderately high parental income.
