The St. Croix Educational Complex (SCEC) Class of 1998 Alumni Association has officially opened applications for its scholarship fund aimed at supporting high-achieving seniors from low-income households.
The “Complex Class of 2024 Scholarship” is designed to be a selective need and merit-based financial boost, with awards starting at $500.
The scholarship program is specifically targeted at outstanding minority SCEC high school seniors who are poised to graduate in 2024. Eligible students who demonstrate financial need and academic potential are encouraged to apply before the deadline on March 31, 2024.
To qualify, applicants are required to meet several criteria. A written essay of a minimum of 500 words must be submitted, detailing how the scholarship will assist the applicant in achieving their goals. Academic achievement is also a factor, with a minimum grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale required. Additionally, applicants must provide one reference letter from a school faculty member, administrator, or community leader.
Evidence of financial need is another prerequisite, which can be demonstrated by submitting the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or a letter from a parent or guardian.
Interested students are directed to apply through the provided link. For those requiring additional information before submitting their application, the SCEC Class of 1998 Alumni Association has made themselves available via email at [email protected].
The association has made a commitment to ease the financial burden of higher education for deserving students. By providing this scholarship, they hope to open doors for individuals who may face economic barriers to continuing their education.
