The ESA Foundation awards numerous scholarships annually. Scholarship
applications are submitted to the Foundation's state counselor of the
applicant's state of residence or directly to the scholarship director if there
is no state counselor for that state. When the application has been determined
to meet the Foundation's criteria, it is forwarded to a member of the regional
scholarship committee who double checks to see that the applicant meets the
necessary criteria. The application is then sent to the scholarship coordinator
responsible for the judging of the particular scholarship for which the student
is applying. See our scholarship site for more details.
Contributions may be designated or undesignated. Undesignated gifts become a
part of the general fund. Designated contributions are used for the purpose
