About the Scholarship
Recipients are eligible for up to five years of scholarship awards to an accredited college, university, technical, or vocational/trade school. Scholarships may be applied consecutively over the five-year period, or recipients may elect to save part of their eligibility for a future program of study (i.e. graduate or doctoral studies). Under special circumstances, recipients may request a deferral and postpone the award. Scholarships generally range from $1,200-$4,500 annually.
Applicants shall be evaluated and selected by Committee Review. Each of the following factors are taken into consideration:
*Recommendations are required for first-time and non-traditional applicants only. A non-traditional applicant is someone who was awarded more than two years ago and is now returning to apply.
Upon notification of a scholarship award, recipients must meet the following expectations to maintain good standing with the Foundation. Should the recipient fail to meet the criteria below or violate any other terms and conditions of the award, the scholarship may be revoked, and funds will be returned to the Leo Adler Foundation.
Please note that payments are issued directly to the educational institution; scholarships are never directly sent to recipients.
