- All scholarship checks will be made out to the college and placed in the student’s account to pay for tuition, books, and fees.
- Applicants must reside in, or have resided in, the Louisville, Kentucky region.
- Students are eligible if they attend a regionally accredited school, and the board will give preference to students attending not-for-profit schools. Examples of eligible schools include all public universities, including the University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, Jefferson Community and Technical College, etc. and not-for-profit private schools including Bellarmine University, Transylvania University, and Spaulding University. Examples of ineligible, for-profit schools include the University of Phoenix, National College, Daymar College, and Spencerian College.
- Applicants are judged according to five criteria: (1) evidence of scholarship and strength of the academic program, (2) quality of answers on the application, (3) persistence in continuing their education, (4) financial need, and (5) record of service. The amount of individual scholarships and the total number of scholarships awarded each grant cycle depends on the availability of funds. Not all applicants will receive awards.
