When awarding the Will Rogers Memorial Scholarship, in addition
to considering an applicant’s disability or intent to pursue a
a career working with the disabled, the scholarship committee
considers an applicant’s financial need, socioeconomic status,
academic and extra-curricular achievements, and hardships. As
with most scholarships awarded through the University, funds
are limited and the selection process is highly competitive.
