A condition of receiving the scholarship is that the applicant, upon completion of her degree program, will return to her own country within 60 days, depending on her visa status, to pursue her professional career. The applicant may have a U.S. or Canadian citizen act as a sponsor; however, the sponsor must act as the student's non-academic adviser and will help her in the event of a personal emergency. The scholarships are given as 'Grants-in-Aid' and are not intended to cover all academic or personal expenses. An applicant is required to show proof of adequate additional financial resources to meet her estimated expenses. Winners will be notified by May 1.

Award Amount: Up to $10,000 annually, renewable for one year if the student continues to meet eligibility requirements and submits a renewal form. The amount of the award will be divided into two equal payments to be disbursed in August and December. Scholarship funds may be used only for tuition, maintenance and incidental expenses, and only while in residence as a full-time student in the United States or Canada at the institution specified.  The total dollars awarded for this scholarship is $20,000.
