History
The Foundation grants approximately 200 individual awards each year
to both full time undergraduate students enrolled in four year
bachelor programs and to full time graduate students. Applicants
must either be currently enrolled or must have completed one year
of undergraduate work at an accredited college or university. The
Foundation also grants a small number of fellowship awards for
independent study and research, usually post-doctoral, based on the
recommendation of a recognized institution. These fellowships are
intended to encourage research that will improve the general
welfare of mankind. Because funds for such grants are limited,
interested applicants should inquire as to the availability of
funding for fellowships in their chosen field of study.
