If you have questions or difficulty completing the application, please contact our office at lisa@southmadisonfoundation.org.  Please remember that the deadline for submission is February 15th by Midnight.  Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.

THE FIRST STEP:
Refer to the scholarship criteria at www.southmadisonfoundation.org/scholarships to learn which scholarships you qualify for.  You can apply for all the ones that match your profile.  Make sure that you supply all of the required documentation as outlined for each scholarship.

IF YOU NEED REFERENCES:
Look closely at the criteria for references.  Be sure to inform the person writing the reference of the name of the scholarship and instruct the writer to refer to the scholarship criteria found at www.southmadisonfoundation.org/scholarships.  Make sure you ask your writer to view the criteria for the specific scholarship they are responding to.  This will assist them in addressing the qualities requested for submission.

SCHOLARSHIP SELECTION PROCESS:
Scholarship committees are composed of board members of the South Madison Community Foundation and community volunteers.  Once the eligible applications have been reviewed, committee members recommend the recipients to the full board of SMCF for approval.  Recipients are notified of their scholarships at their Senior Awards ceremony.
