Scholarships
Schuch Family Foundation Scholarships
Schuch Family Foundation (the “Foundation”) awards scholarships annually. The number of actual scholarships and the amount of an individual scholarship will be determined based on consideration of certain factors including, without limitation, the financial resources and the qualifications of the scholarship recipients.
The Foundation will provide the scholarship funds directly to the institution where the scholarship recipient enrolls. Scholarship funds will not be paid to the applicant directly. If the scholarship recipient does not matriculate at the school or withdraws from enrollment, the Foundation will seek reimbursement for any funds paid to the school.
APPLICANT ELIGIBILITY
To be considered for this scholarship, the applicant should be accepted to a college/university, trade school, professional training certification program, or other post-secondary job prep institution.
Special consideration will be noted for an applicant who has any of the following:

has a demonstrated financial need;
has a documented significant disability;
is living independently.
The Foundation reserves the right to waive any or all qualifications for applicants who have demonstrated exceptional adverse circumstances.
