Application Instructions:
Graduating seniors of Duluth East with a GPA of 3.5 or greater and who attended Congdon Park, Homecroft or Lowell Elementary Schools may apply. Students should complete and submit in the DSACF Common Application by the deadline day. A complete application will also include an academic transcript (including standardized test scores) and two recommendations.
Selection Criteria:
The Scholarship Committee of the Community Foundation will select individual scholarship recipients. They will base their decision on the applicant’s academic record, written recommendations and involvement in community and church activities.
Awards Given from the Fund:
One scholarship (of about $1000/year), co-payable to the student and institution will be awarded each year. Generally, this annual award is divided into two installments--half for fall, half for spring. It is not renewable.
2008 awards included:
$1000, Nathaniel J Topie
2009 awards included:
$750, Joshua Leis
2010 awards included:
$750, Amelia Black
RECIPIENT RESPONSIBILITIES:
• The majority of communication between recipients and the scholarship administrators will take place via email or other appropriate technology. Recipients are required to have and regularly check their email and notify the Community Foundation of any changes to their contact information.
• Recipients of DSACF scholarships are expected to acknowledge acceptance of the award promptly. This acknowledgment will take two forms, completion of an Acceptance Form provided by the Community Foundation and secondly, a thank you letter/card to the award's sponsor. The Community Foundation will provide names and addresses as needed. If unable to accept the scholarship, the committee should be given that information and a reason in a prompt manor.
• Recipients must inform the DSACF of all other scholarship they are receiving. Total awards for any given semester can not exceed the stated cost for attendance at that institution.
• Recipients must complete enough credits to be recognized as a full-time student in each semester an award is made. Likewise, a satisfactory grade point average (different by scholarship) must be maintained.
• If the student receives funds from the college due to non-completion of a term or not attending full time, these funds are to be returned to the DSACF. If the college requirements are not met, but there is no refund, the scholarship will be forfeited.
• The Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation hopes that recipients recognize and appreciate the contributions their award has made to their futures. It further anticipates that, in the years to come, recipients find some way to give back to the community that provided them with these opportunities.
