Robert C. Byrd scholarships available
Applications for the Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship are being
accepted through May 2.
Scholarships of up to $1,500 will be awarded.
The federally
funded program recognizes exceptional high school
seniors, who show promise of continued excellence in postsecondary education.
An applicant must be a
South Dakota resident and a senior at an accredited public or private secondary
school, must be qualified to graduate or receive a GED certificate, and must
have applied or been accepted for enrollment as a full-time student at an
eligible in-state or out-of-state institution of higher education.
In
addition, an applicant must meet the following requirements:
- Have a grade point average
of at least 3.5 on an unweighted 4.0 scale, or the equivalent on a weighted
scale, through the end of the term most recently completed; and
- Have an ACT score of 30 or
above.
Scholarships will be awarded
to approximately 20 eligible applicants with the highest ACT score and grade
point average. Scholars will be selected from the four divisions of the South
Dakota federal district court: western, northern, central and southern.
