The awards range from $1,000 to $60,000. Each scholarship category has its own eligibility requirements, but in general, applicants must reside in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Guam, and their applications are judged based on their academic record, their participation in school\/community activities, their work experience, and their financial need.
