Award Details:
Awards vary from $500 to $25,000 per student per academic year and are awarded based on financial need and the quality of essay responses. Scholarship awards are disbursed directly to students to maximize support beyond institutional aid. SHPE also changed the award timeline so that students receive their award notifications earlier.
