All complete requests for applications before December 22, 2009 that follow the guidelines below will be processed for the 2010 scholarship cycle. Requests for applications after this date will be processed for the 2011 scholarship cycle.
The Carson Scholars Fund remains dedicated to its goal of naming a Carson Scholar in every state. All schools that request an application will be added to our mailing list for our next scholarship season. All requests must come from educators or school administrators. Requests can not be made for individual students, nor can applications be sent to students’ homes. This policy ensures that educators can complete a fair and impartial nomination process to determine which student at their school would best meet the requirements for a Carson Scholarship.
The Carson Scholars Fund has relationships with the following school districts and works in partnership to distribute scholarship applications annually: all Maryland public school districts and counties, Battle Creek Public Schools (Michigan), Pittsburgh Public Schools, Indianapolis Public Schools, and Atlanta Public Schools. If you are an educator in one of these districts, applications will be distributed to your school through the school system and you do not need to request an application.
All educators are welcome to request an application. Educators can request an application by sending an email from a school email address with the title, Application Request, to Caitlin@carsonscholars.org. The name of the school principal and the school’s full mailing address must be included in the email to process your request. Requests for applications that do not meet these requirements or do not provide full school information will not be processed and may not receive a response. At this time, our school nomination procedures do not allow homeschool parents or tutors to request applications.
If you are a parent or student that would like to request and application, please communicate your interest in having your school participate in the program by contacting an educator, guidance counselor, or administrator at your school. Suggest that they request an application for your school by contacting caitlin@carsonscholars.org and following the instructions above. Requests from students, parents, or individuals will not be processed.
More information on our scholarship program can be found on the prospective scholars, educators, and scholar alumni pages.
