The candidate may not have the highest grades, but is extremely diversified in interests, has found focus the last year or two and has a good trend going. A straight “A” student could be a candidate, but not necessarily. The heart, focus and future interest of the student should be considered.
Financial need is a relative thing; all students bettering their education have financial need. This scholarship is to be focused on the individual who deserves it for his own effort, rather than factors of financial backing or lack thereof from third parties who may also be supporting the applicant.

This scholarship will be offered to students who remain at college or university. Applications are to be made to the Bonduel Scholarship Selection Committee.
