Wolf Lord Impact Scholarship Program
The Wolf Lord Impact Scholarship Program was established to assist students who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs and pursuing a STEM or Engineering course of study.
Wolf Lord Impact Scholarship Program
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.
Eligibility
Applicants to the Wolf Lord Impact Scholarship Program must:
- Be a first-generation college student
- Be high school seniors or graduates or current college undergraduates
- Plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year
- Be pursuing STEM or Engineering
- Have a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent)
Awards
If selected as the recipient, the student will receive up to $10,000 award. A minimum of one (1) award will be granted. Additional awards may be added as additional scholarship dollars become available. If additional funds are available, the sponsor may choose to grant additional awards of up to $10,000 each.
Awards are renewable up to three years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first, on the basis of satisfactory academic performance (maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.4 on a 4.0 scale), and full-time enrollment.
Awards can be used for any education-related expenses.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Notification
All applicants will be notified in March.
Notifications are sent via email. When setting up your account, avoid using a school or work email. Instead, use an active, personal email address that you will continue to have access to.
Please make sure to add studentsupport@scholarshipamerica.org as well as the program email address as safe senders in your email contact list.
Payment of Scholarships
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of the Sponsor. Payment is made in early August.
Selection of Recipients
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
- Academic performance
- Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
- Work experience
- A statement of educational and career goals and objectives
- Unusual personal or family circumstances
Financial need will be considered. Recipients must demonstrate need.
The top twenty (20) Finalists will complete a 500-word custom essay and submit two uploaded letters of recommendation from a teacher and a peer.
Selection of ten (10) finalists is made by Scholarship America. The Sponsor will select recipients. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
