TYPES AND AMOUNTS OF SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS AWARD TYPES SINGLE YEAR: Awards are given for one year only and applicants are not eligible for additional year awards. REAPPLY AND COMPETE: Recipients are asked to reapply and compete annually, so that the scholarship committee is able to base award decisions on the entire applicant pool, including new and current recipients. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL: In spring, prior-year recipients receive a request to submit their college transcripts and to confirm their contact information and the institution they will attend in the fall. If academic progress is satisfactory, the scholarship is renewed automatically. Four years of support is usually the maximum and a best practice for students with financial need. Of the Foundation’s 300+ scholarships, 22 are specifically for graduating seniors, including Brashear High School students, planning to major in science. 8 SCHOLARSHIP HANDBOOK
