The applicants for the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund must be U.S. citizens enrolled full-time at an accredited college, university or technical/vocational school in the United States who have a minimum of 2.5 GPA.
As this is a journalism scholarship, the applicants should pursue degrees leading to a career in journalism and must remain enrolled full-time once they receive the scholarship.
They should have 50 credit hours if they are enrolled in a four-year college or university or 25 credit hours if they are enrolled in a two-year community college or technical/vocational school.
Permanent legal residents and high school students are not eligible to apply so they should not waste their time submitting the application form.
