DANIELS EDUCATIONAL AWARD

All applicants are carefully considered on the basis of Christian commitment, financial need, evidence of personal effort toward earning/accessing other sources of income or aid, and clear academic or vocational goals. Members of Second Presbyterian Church and non-members may apply for these funds. Because we receive many applications that meet these criteria, we are unable to provide awards to every applicant.  Please note we may be unable to transfer funds to institutions located outside the United States. 

• The deadline for application is April 17, 2026.

• Applicants will be notified about award decisions by May 15, 2026.

Application requirements:

• Completed application (download application)

• A brief biographical statement about (1) your education, work, and/or volunteer experience to-date and (2) your educational goals or a current resume.

Please note: Only one application per person will be considered in each calendar year. Receiving financial assistance in one year does not guarantee assistance in a following year. Persons can and are encouraged to apply for this award annually while they are in school.
