- Scholastic record (20): based on grade point average
- Leadership and ability to get along with others (25): based on work experience, letters of reference and responses to application questions
- Professional promise (20): based on work experience, letters of reference and responses to application questions

Applications selected by the judges are ranked and the scholarships awarded in order of their dollar value.

Payment of Scholarship Money
Payment is made directly to the college for credit towards the recipient's tuition fees. If the tuition fee has already been paid, the scholarship money will then be paid to the student by the school. The scholarship money will be paid in its entirety in November of the year the scholarship is awarded. However, payment will only be issued after the Foundation has obtained confirmation from the school of the recipient's full-time re-enrollment.

Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Applications received after this date will not be considered. Results of the scholarship judging will be posted on the Foundation website
