GE-Reagan Foundation Scholarship Program $10,000
Scholarship “of the week” posted here December 4, 2012.
Deadline for submission January 10, 2013.
I like this scholarship for Oakridge for a number of reasons. One – the Program selects numerous recipients (not just a couple.) Two – it is renewable. So it could continue with you through college. Three – it can be used for anything (tuition, board, books). Four – It is needs based and a lot of you will qualify. Check with me if you think you do. Finally, it’s about leadership, drive, and integrity. Qualities that I know many Oakridge seniors exhibit on a daily basis.
Scholarship Synopsis:
Honoring the legacy and character of our nation’s 40th President, the GE-Reagan Foundation Scholarship Program rewards college-bound students who demonstrate exemplary leadership, drive, integrity, and citizenship with financial assistance to pursue higher education.
Each year, the Program selects numerous recipients to receive a $10,000 scholarship renewable for up to an additional three years – up to $40,000 total per recipient. Awards are for undergraduate study only, and may be used for education-related expenses, including tuition, fees, books, supplies, room, and board. In addition, Scholars are invited to participate in a special awards program.
To be eligible for this award, applicants must:
- demonstrate at school, at the workplace, and within the community the attributes of leadership, drive, integrity, and citizenship;
- demonstrate strong academic performance (minimum 3.0 grade point average/4.0 scale or equivalent);
- demonstrate financial need;
- be citizens of the United States of America;
- be high school seniors attending high school in the United States and graduating in winter 2012 or spring 2013; and
- plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate course of study toward a bachelor’s degree at an accredited four-year college or university in the United States for the entire 2013-2014 academic year.
