We are just one week away from the opening of the online application for the Daniels Scholarship Program

The Daniels Scholarship Program provides the opportunity for highly motivated students to earn a bachelor’s degree that helps them build a successful career and rewarding life. Daniels Scholars demonstrate exceptional character, leadership, and a commitment to serving their communities. Bill Daniels would also want his scholars to be proud Americans who value our free enterprise system and are prepared to give the world their best shot.

The Daniels Scholarship Program offers a four-year college scholarship that provides financial and personal support focused on helping Daniels Scholars succeed in college and in life. The scholarship is unique to each student and varies depending on their Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and school choice. The scholarship pays up to $25,000 per year toward the student’s unmet needs after applying for their EFC, other scholarships, and financial aid. Daniels Scholars may attend any accredited college or university in the United States.
