Selection of scholarship recipents is based upon educational achievement, student potential, character and individual financial need. Candidates are required to submit an application and essay. Recomendations from both a high school teacher and counselor are required. Students are eligible for this scholarship regardless of their residency status.

A panel comprised of our advisory committee and volunteers from THE PENINSULA COLLEGE FUND select scholarship winners in the spring of their senior year. Throughout college, the Fund recipients are required to maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA, write to their mentor twice a year and remain a student in good standing with confirmation from a student advisor. Similarly, each recipient must attend an orientation conducted by our program that will take place during the summer prior to his or her freshman year.
