Ideal Applicant
A student who attends PORTA High School in Petersburg, Illinois, seeking a small scholarship and able to submit the short application through the school by the early-May deadline.
Good Fit
- • Enrollment at PORTA High School in Petersburg, IL.
- • Ability to meet the 'first week in May' application deadline.
- • Readiness to complete a short application describing general info and education/career goals.
- • Need for a small, tuition/education-focused award.
Geography
Observed giving is entirely within Illinois; every grant in the available filings was to in-state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only two distinct recipients and the pattern over two years is two small scholarship awards per year, indicating a very narrow, individual-focused recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows new student recipients in the latest year and the filings include a short application process with a specific deadline administered through the local school, so eligible newcomers (PORTA High School students) appear able to apply.
