The Ackerley Scholarship and the Ackerley Scholars

The interest on the Ackerley gift provides an annual budget of over $100,000, with almost half devoted to scholarships. Ackerley Scholarships of up to $5000 every year are based on scholastic achievement and leadership potential. This scholarship is in addition to other awards and or discounts for good grades. High school seniors with 26 ACT math and 26 overall who are interested in computer technology or programming are encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate is one who likes to get involved with others in projects and clubs.

Those who are interested should download the application and mail it in before the spring deadline noted on the form. Any applications received after the deadline are also considered within the limits of whatever funds that are still available. The application (PDF file) can be found at: http://www.graceland.edu/AckerleyScholarship

Ackerley Scholars must agree to certain requirements in order to renew the scholarship for all four years. An example of this agreement is at: http://csit.graceland.edu/ackerley/csitScholarshipRequirements.pdf
