This scholarship is in the form of a 2+2 scholarship, which entitles the student to two years of tuition at a community college and two years at a university. The student will receive his/her scholarship if he/she has fulfilled the terms of the contract he/she signed when enrolling in the program and when he/she has graduated from high school.  The total dollars awarded for this scholarship is $20,000.
