How will students be selected?
A committee will review the applications and select recipients. While making its decisions, the committee will consider the following:
- Student's desire to grow in Sikhi
- As per our Reht Maryada: Any human being who faithfully believes in all of the following One Immortal Being, 10 Gurus, from Guru Nanak Sahib to Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, the Guru Granth Sahib, the utterances and teachings of the 10 Gurus, the baptism bequeathed by the 10th Guru, and who does not owe allegiance to any other religion, is a Sikh.
- Student's desire to grow through her/his undergraduate education
- Student's financial need
- Student's commitment to an alternate career (careers in which Sikhs are traditionally underrepresented)
This scholarship is made possible with Guru's Grace and by generous donation from the Community. Please donate. Thank you!
