Once submitted, both you and the student will receive an auto-email confirmation. All recommendations are confidential and are not viewable to the applicant.

Financial Aid Eligibility
Financial awards are determined by analysis of certified need by submission of the FAFSA, and the CSS Profile.
As part of the qualifications for the Ouimet Scholarship, we require the student to show financial need. Should an applicant show no financial need, but exhibit all of the other requirements, we offer an HONORARY Scholar status. Honorary Scholars receive a nominal financial award and receive all of the same benefits and participate in all events offered by The Fund. Financial Need is re-evaluated every year.
