Award Amount: at least $2,000 Description Each year the National Association of State Directors of Migrant Education (NASDME) awards one or more scholarships to graduating migratory high school seniors to enable them to enter college. The scholarship, named after a staunch advocate for migratory students, is intended to assist migratory agricultural or fishing students who are dedicated students with a significant financial need who have moved with their family or on their own for agricultural or fishing employment. To be eligible for this scholarship you must: -Be a migrant student! You and your family move for agricultural or fishing employment and you sustain disruption or interruption of your schooling. -Be a dedicated student! Show us you care and you’re willing to work hard! We’re looking for academic achievement or improvement in your official transcript. -Be a graduating high school senior. This scholarship is intended for students who will be entering college for the first time. -Demonstrate financial need. We want to make sure this scholarship goes to someone who could really use the help, so you need to estimate how much you think your education will cost, how much you have saved so far, and any scholarships you have already applied for or received.
