Scholarship Eligibility

• You must maintain a minimum 2.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale, or be in the top 40% of your class in high school.
• You must be applying to, or attending, a two or four year accredited college, university or trade school. Full time enrollment is required.

Scholarship submissions will be initially reviewed by the Matthew Wright Foundation Board of Directors for completeness and receipt of all required information. Submissions are then entered into the “blind application” review process by the Matthew Wright Foundation Scholarship Committee. Information taken into consideration by the Committee will be financial need, school and community activities, academic achievement, and writing ability. Applications that are chosen by the Committee will then be sent to a Financial Analyst for independent review of each applicant’s need. The final decision regarding awards will then be made by the Scholarship Committee.

Applications for scholarships are accepted from January through March for the following academic year (beginning in September). Awards are made in June.

All scholarship applications must be postmarked or hand delivered by March 31, 2020.
