USA Funds® will award $1 million in USA Funds Access to Education Scholarships® to lower-income students for the 2010-2011 academic year.
The program provides $1,500 scholarships to undergraduates and full-time graduate or professional students from households with incomes of $35,000 or less. Up to 50 percent of the awards go to students who are members of an ethnic minority group or are physically disabled. Residents of USA Funds’ and NELA®’s designated states receive priority consideration for the awards.
The scholarships will be one-time awards, although the recipients are welcome to apply for the scholarship program in subsequent years, as long as their cumulative awards under the program do not exceed $6,000.
Eligibility criteria and a link to the online scholarship application are available from www.usafunds.org/scholarship.
The deadline for students to submit scholarship applications is Feb. 15, 2010.
