2014 Ricardo Correa Scholarship

2014 Ricardo Correa Scholarship :

The Ricardo Correa Scholarship Foundation is looking for candidates for its scholarship. Students need to apply by March 1st in order to be eligible. We are looking for gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender seniors, or straight ally from a public school, who are going on to college. The scholarship is for $1,000, with the student who wins the scholarship getting half for their fall semester and the other half their second semester, upon successfully completing their first semester of college. Applying for the local, Wisconsin state scholarship will make them eligible for the $2,000 national scholarship!

            The national scholarship will be picked at the NEA RA in Denver this summer in July. Different NEA leaders (SOGI committee members, NEA-GLBT Caucus members, gay and straight members, male, female, state leaders, past NEA leaders, etc.) will be meeting to pick the candidate or candidates.

            Students can download the application by going to our website at Ricfest.org. They should go to the State page to get the application and all the rules in selection. Students will be judged on GPA, leadership ability <extra-curricular jobs, clubs, etc., financial need, and an essay on the gay heroes in their life that they have gotten inspiration.
