THE CULVER FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP
Believing that the future of our nation and its progress depends upon educated young people, and their preparation to meet the challenges of the future and to solve the problems of their citizenry, and to perpetuate the ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; the Joseph N. Culver Foundation of New Jersey, Inc. (formerly the DeMolay Foundation of New Jersey) has established scholarship awards for young persons.
ELIGIBILITY
Undergraduate scholarships will be awarded to young persons who have satisfactorily completed the requirements for high school graduation, who have been accepted in an accredited college or university, who have not yet reached the age of twenty-one or who, if the applicant has worked for one year following high school graduation, has applied for this scholarship prior to his/her twenty-first birthday.
The committee will consider the applicant’s academic achievement, financial need, character, and service to others, in awarding scholarships. A transcript of the applicant’s high school record is required and must be included with the application. All questions on the application MUST be completed.
Students who receive the award must maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average to continue the award. A yearly transcript of their college records will be ordered by the student and sent to this foundation at the student’s expense.
AWARD
A scholarship award of $1,500 or more for each year of successful advancement in an under-graduate college or university, not to exceed a total of four years, will be paid directly to the accredited institution of choice for the tuition charged by that institution. (Awards for graduate studies may be granted under certain, unusual circumstances.)
