FADRA Scholarship Guidelines and Criteria

FADRA awards up to three $1,000 scholarships to employees, their children and/or grandchildren of non-owner FADRA Member employees and Associate Members attending various colleges or night school. Children/students who demonstrate potential and interest in pursuing an undergraduate degree are eligible to apply. Scholarships are awarded per calendar year.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Candidates are required to have been approved for admission at a Qualified Community, State College or Night School.
  • The applicant must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.70/4.00.
  • An official copy of the candidate’s high school transcript, or prior year’s college transcript, must accompany the application.
  • •All Candidates must submit a one-page essay expressing their reasons for choosing a desired field, why they think they should receive the scholarship, and an overview of their future aspirations.
  • •Two recommendation letters are required: one from a FADRA Member, and one personal reference. Examples include: counselor, high school teacher who is familiar with the candidate, college professor or personal acquaintance.

Note: Selection emphasis will focus on coursework while in high school or college, course distribution, activities, the one page essay, and recommendation letters, rather than standardized test scores as a predictor for success.

Application Process
Candidates will be required to submit a complete application package, which includes a completed application form, transcript, essay, and two recommendation letters. Three members of the FADRA Scholarship Committee will review the applications and choose the winners.
