Epsilon Sigma Alpha Scholarships - Multiple awards, two deadlines



Founded in 1929, Epsilon Sigma Alpha (ESA) is a leadership and service organization, bringing volunteers together in programs and projects that make a positive difference to the world community.  The ESA Foundation (ESAF) is a 501(c)3 public foundation, established in 1970, as an organization exclusively for charitable and educational purposes.

Currently, the ESA Foundation offers 191 scholarships a year for deserving United States and International students who meet the criteria of individual endowments.  Information about the scholarships, requirements and applications is available at http://www.epsilonsigmaalpha.org/scholarships-and-grants/scholarships/how-to-apply. There will be a list of available scholarships by the state of the student’s residence.  Guidelines for the scholarships can be found at http://www.epsilonsigmaalpha.org/scholarships-and-grants/scholarships/Guidelines.  The application, requirements/documentation and submission for judging will all be done online

Florida students will have the opportunity to apply for 44 scholarships this year including the following Florida sponsored scholarships.  Students may apply for as many scholarships as the online application process determines the student is eligible to apply for.

Because of the large volume of scholarship applications, a $5 processing fee is charged for each scholarship applied for to offset the costs of the program.  Fee monies remaining after operational costs, if any, are put into the ESAF General Scholarship Fund.  Depending on the amount in the General Scholarship Fund at the end of each fiscal year, additional scholarships are awarded.

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 1, 2015.

EARLY BIRD AWARD:  Any completed application with required documentation submitted by DECEMBER 15, 2014,  and approved for judging, will be eligible for a drawing to be awarded  a $1,000.00 Early Bird Scholarship as funds permit.
