Milken Scholars

Scholarship Sponsored by Milken Family Foundation

Your completed Milken Scholars Program application package will consist of:

1. Milken Scholars Application

The online application can be accessed through SurveyMonkey by logging in with the username and password provided. The application includes the following sections: Personal Information, Family Information, Education, and Activities. If you have taken AP Exams, you will be asked to upload an AP Score Report that can be accessed through AP Central.

2. Two Letters or Recommendation

To preserve confidentiality, the preferred method for submitting letters of recommendation is to invite Recommenders to submit letters through the SurveyMonkey portal. Alternatively, Recommenders may choose to provide the letter to the applicant to upload with their application or may email letters to the Program directly. Instructions on how to request and complete the letters of recommendation will be available when you begin your application.

3. Essay Question

This should be completed online and submitted with your application. Please remember to preview the statement for any errors before clicking 'Final Submit'.

4. Family Financial Profile

This form should be completed by or with your parents or guardians and submitted along with your application online.

5. A copy of your current high school transcript

Please upload the file (PDF) of your transcript with your online application. The transcript does not need to be official, but it must have your name and the name of your school printed on it along with grades received from 9th-11th grades and 12th-grade enrollment. It must also be legible.

6. Copies of Test Score Reports

Please upload the file (PDF) of your test score sheets with your online application. The College Board and ACT websites have downloadable reports that you can use for this. Upload test report for each sitting. If you took more than one test, results are superscored (we choose the best scores from each sitting).
