Applications open today, May 1, and will be accepted through May 31, 2025. The selection process is managed by Kaleidoscope, a third-party scholarship platform, using a standardized rubric to evaluate candidates’ academic achievements, community involvement, and other qualifications. Winners will be announced in July.
