The Scholarship Project accepts inquiries between November and April of each academic year.
Scholarships are renewable for up to four years subject to the recipient maintaining at least
a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and providing the Foundation with an accounting of how
the grant for the semester was used. Renewal application must be completed for each
academic year for which scholarship funds are requested. Awards are granted for a
specific period of study and are not carried over if unused.
High school seniors residing in the Northeast United States are eligible to apply for
scholarships. Special preference will be given to residents of Rockland County, NY.
The Scholarship Project does not support graduate studies.
An essay of no more than three pages must be submitted. This narrative should describe the
applicant and include financial need, special aptitudes, attributes and personal goals of

student government and sports should be noted. Essays must be received before April 15.
Letters and essays should be sent to:

reference and an official transcript must be submitted. The minimum academic
