Relieving educational expenses

Awards can be used for tuition, fees, books and education-related expenses incurred at any accredited college, university or vocational/technical school. Scholarship checks are made payable to the school and cannot be applied toward student loans or refunded to students. In addition to the scholarship, these students participate in a year-long program focused on leadership development and mentoring.
