The scholarship may be used for study in any field, at any accredited university in the United States or abroad. Scholarships are open to students from all academic backgrounds, but the student must demonstrate an appreciation for or participation in the arts and humanities. The program awards up to $50,000 annually for up to six years. Applicants must have a cumulative 3.5 GPA or better.
