First State Manufactured Housing Association (FSMHA) tells MHProNews that applications for its four scholarship awards of up to $1,000 are due by 4:30 pm, Monday, March 6th.
To qualify, candidates must be legal residents of Delaware and residents of a manufactured home for at least one year prior to the application.
While many other scholarships only target high school seniors, the FSMHA scholarship is open to nontraditional students as well.
Past winners include parents, grandparents, young adults continuing their education and those returning after a hiatus. Award recipients are also eligible to reapply annually.
Candidates are evaluated on scholastic record, financial need, essay and personal/professional recommendations.
Scholarships can be used for any type of accredited two-or four-year degree program, or for any accredited training, licensing or certification program. Full-time enrollment, or full- or part-time enrollment of at least seven credits in an accredited program is also acceptable, and the free application for federal student aid must be completed.
Since 1999, the First State Manufactured Housing Association has provided $39,000.00 for 37 scholarships recipients.
