Renewable scholarships are offered each year for full-time or part-time study.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance and continuation of the program by McCrory Corp. Transition Assistance and Scholarship Fund.

All applicants agree to accept the decisions as final.
