Application requirements for the Bruce Shelton Scholarship are:

  • Application form
  • Official Transcript
  • Recommendation letter
Additional Information: Applicants must demonstrate social responsibility by participating in at least one extracurricular or community activity. Applicants must also demonstrate leadership by possessing qualities that exhibit a willingness to "go the extra mile". In order to be eligible to apply for financial aid from the Foundation, 50 percent or more of the student's college courses must be taken in a traditional classroom setting. A Student Aid committee of The Winston-Salem Foundation will select recipients. The committee reserves the right to rescind an award should a recipient's circumstances change, such as failure to graduate from high school or failure to enroll at an accredited institution. The Foundation reserves the right to withhold the award in the event that no applicants are deemed to meet the qualifications.

Award Amount: $1,000 annually, renewable for three additional consecutive years if the recipient maintains full-time enrollment and a minimum cumulative college grade point average of 2.5 as verified by the year-end academic grade transcript. The recipient must request an official grade transcript from the college’s Registrar and forward it to the Foundation by July 1 each year. Scholarships will be applied to the cost of undergraduate tuition, fees, room and board, and other college expenses. Once recipient(s) have been selected, checks will be issued jointly to the college and to the recipient, and will be mailed to the recipient's home address for the student to deliver to the college's financial aid office. Separate checks will be issued for fall and spring semesters. Check processing requires approximately two weeks.  The total dollars awarded for this scholarship is $4,000.
