Scholarship recipients must furnish an official transcript at the end of each spring semester. Recipients of the $5,000 scholarship must pursue a four-year degree as a resident student at an accredited United States accredited college or university that grants bachelor or higher degrees but may begin higher education studies at a two-year accredited institution and transfer to an accredited school to complete the final two years leading to a bachelor's degree.
