Applying for The Urega Scholarship?

We can't wait to read from you! The Urega Scholarship Program application has been designed to focus on you!

Urega Scholars have the following qualities amongst others:

Courage
Empathy
Humility
Ambition
Maturity
Passion

We practice a Holistic Review Process, which means that everything you share with us has equal weight in our selection decision. No element in your application, such as your grades, class rank, or essay, is more important than the others in our review process. We want to get to know you and determine how/if we can help.
