For graduating seniors with financial need heading to a four year college. It is as much a mentoring programme as a cheque: scholars get career mentoring, internship placement and a support curriculum through college. Applications close on 14 January.
The page states no figure. What it does describe is the part that outlasts the money: mentoring, internship placement, leadership training and a support curriculum across the whole degree.

What you need
The official page does not list required documents. Check the official page before you apply, since a provider can ask for paperwork it does not publish.
How to apply
- 1Start the CSS Profile early, it is the slow partThe application needs a CSS Profile alongside a transcript, an SAT or ACT score, one recommendation and three short essays. The CSS Profile takes longest and is the one people start last.
- 2Check the college you are picking is JRF approvedIt has to be an accredited four year college or university in the United States that JRF approves, so the choice of college affects eligibility rather than just the amount.
