Who can apply: High school seniors graduating in 2027 with at least a 3.0 GPA who attend school in the U.S. (including D.C., Puerto Rico and select DoD schools) and are citizens, nationals, permanent residents, refugees or asylees.

From the sponsor's published rules.

Graduating seniors can win $20,000 through this achievement-based program that looks at leadership, service, and academic record rather than financial need, and it doesn't matter what you plan to major in. The first application skips essays, transcripts, and recommendations entirely; those only come into play for the roughly 1% of applicants who make it to the Semifinalist round.

What you'll need to apply

  • Minimum GPA 3.0 (Verified in the first phase)
  • Essay: Essays at the semifinalist stage
  • Transcript: Semifinalists
  • 1 recommendation letter: Semifinalists
  • Interview: Finalists

Requirements can change each cycle. Confirm them on the sponsor's page before you apply.
