"Remark2"able Future Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Public Education Foundation
This scholarship is designed to assist a high school senior or a current college student who has been identified as a special education needs student with an Individual Education Program (IEP). Priority will be given to students who have a visual impairment. The student must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or above and be enrolled as a full-time student in a post-secondary institution. Students attending post-secondary institutions in Nevada, Utah, or Wisconsin will be given special consideration. Three scholarships of $1,250 each will be awarded. The scholarship can be renewed for up to three additional years, provided the student maintains a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Proof of college enrollment (class schedule) will be required during the summer before the scholarship check is sent to the college. The scholarship funds must be used for tuition, fees, and other relevant educational expenses. The funds will be distributed evenly over two semesters.
