Andrews Federal Credit Union College Scholarship Program

Here are some common eligibility criteria that may be considered for financial assistance scholarships:

• Academic Performance: While financial need is a primary consideration, some scholarships may also take into account academic performance. Applicants may need to meet a minimum GPA requirement or provide academic transcripts to demonstrate their academic achievements.
• Field of Study: Some scholarships target students in specific fields of study. These scholarships may be available for students pursuing degrees in areas such as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), healthcare, education, business, or other fields. The field of study requirement varies depending on the scholarship program.
• Citizenship or Residency: Scholarships may have citizenship or residency requirements, such as being a citizen or permanent resident of a specific country or residing in a particular geographic area. 
• Essay or Personal Statement: Many scholarship applications require applicants to submit an essay or personal statement. This provides an opportunity for students to express their goals, aspirations, and the reasons they deserve financial assistance.
• Letters of Recommendation: Some scholarship applications may require applicants to provide letters of recommendation from teachers, mentors, or other individuals who can attest to their character, academic abilities, and financial need.
• Extracurricular Activities and Community Involvement: Scholarship committees may consider an applicant’s involvement in extracurricular activities, leadership roles, volunteer work, or community service. These experiences can demonstrate the applicant’s commitment, character, and contributions beyond the academic realm.
