1. Before you apply for any of the Foundation’s Scholarships you MUST complete the FAFSA. To access the FAFSA website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. Once you have completed the FAFSA, you will receive your Student Aid Report (SAR) with an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number listed in the top right hand corner. You will need your EFC number to complete the Foundation Scholarship Application.
2. To see if you are eligible to apply for a particular scholarship, click on each of the scholarship names listed above to read the eligibility, criteria, and guidelines for applying.
