“Thank you all very much for awarding me this scholarship. I cannot begin to express enough how thankful I am for this opportunity. Being a part of the continuation of Brice’s legacy is an honor I will not carry lightly. You all have entrusted me with this esteemed award, and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you all again,.”

Some scholarships require additional documentation, which is listed on each application. Scholarship applicants must meet specific criteria for each scholarship. Award amounts and the number of awards are estimates and are subject to change from year to year.
Scholarship recipients will be announced at Celebrating Achievement, an annual awards dinner each year at the end of April. All recipients will be notified by email.
Most scholarships are for one academic year, but we offer some renewable scholarships as well.
