Application Process: Individuals seeking scholarships to attend educational programs that align with the mission of ESPOIR are required to complete the ESPOIR scholarship application form. All applications are reviewed by the Board of Directors and applicants will be notified if they a granted a scholarship within one month of the submission of the scholarship application.
Applicant must submit the completed ESPOIR Scholarship Application Form and provide a written explanation for why he/she deserves the scholarship and why the chosen educational program would best serve his/her needs. Applicants must also demonstrate financial need.
If awarded the scholarship, ESPOIR will disburse the money directly to the chosen institution/organization/educational program, and not to the applicant.
Applicants may apply at any time during the year, and there are no deadlines by which applications must be received, since they are accepted on rotating basis throughout the year. Applicants are eligible to receive more than one scholarship, but only after two-years have elapsed from the date the last scholarship was granted. Exceptions can be considered by the Board on a case by case basis.
Amount: Decisions on amounts disbursed to any particular applicant are made solely by the Board of Directors, taking into consideration: (1) the applicant’s financial status and personal need, (2) the fee for the educational program, and (3) available scholarship funds.
