For Scholarship Referral Agencies
To be considered for the scholarship, only referrals from licensed professionals or clergy will be accepted. This requirement is in place to guarantee that applicants have received the necessary support and guidance in navigating the impact of domestic violence. If you're not a licensed professional, we suggest you refer the applicant to someone who can provide the support they need.
For organizations or individuals acting as referral sources for the scholarship, it's crucial to ensure that the applicants you refer meet all eligibility criteria. This includes being enrolled in an accredited technical school, college, or university, having a minimum GPA of 2.5, having no history of violent crime, and meeting the requirements for being a survivor of domestic violence or having lost one or both parents to domestic violence. By thoroughly reviewing and verifying the qualifications of the applicants you refer, you'll help ensure that they have the best chance of being awarded this scholarship.
