Formal application is the second step in the process of requesting scholarship funds. Students currently enrolled in college, or students who expect to enroll for the next term, must apply for scholarship assistance. 

Eligibility for scholarships from the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund and the subfunds operated in conjunction with the Fund is generally dependent on financial need, however, at this time there are modest scholarships available from various subfunds for Fund registrants who do not have financial need. (See the General Subfunds and Designated Subfunds pages for more information.)

To apply, download and print the application form below. If you are a full-time student and want to be notified of your award amount prior to the start of fall term, applications must be postmarked by May 15. If you are attending school part-time, taking individual or certification courses, or if you miss the May 15 deadline, your application must be submitted before the end of the term.

If you would like to receive an estimate of the upcoming award amount prior to the application deadline, please download and print the Estimated Award Form below. Complete the form and provide via mail, e-mail or fax using the contact information below. (Please note that while this tool is available for you to use in your planning, the final award amount will not be provided until an official application is submitted. A number of factors are used to calculate the final award amount, and changes in any one area may impact the final total.)
