2016 SPOY Application for Independent Scholarship Providers |
Background Information
Apply for the 2016 Scholarship Provider of the Year Award! This prestigious award recognizes scholarship providers who demonstrate exceptional leadership, efficiency, and impact in their support of higher education. Two outstanding scholarship providers are selected each year for this honor in the following two categories:
● College and University Providers – scholarship organizations within a post-secondary educational institution providing scholarships for study at the institution.
● Independent Scholarship Providers – scholarship organizations run by a private or public foundation, unaffiliated with a specific college or university.
Each award recipient will receive a $2,500 cash prize sponsored by Fastweb, the nation's recognized leader in helping students pay for school and a top site in the Monster Worldwide Network. NSPA and Fastweb have collaborated on this award for 16 years.
Applications must be submitted by August 8, 2016. NSPA members are encouraged to apply on their own behalf as an Independent Scholarship Provider on the next page. If you'd like to apply as a College or University Provider or nominate an organization, please follow the link to a different form.
