Terms/Guidelines
of the High School Scholarship Program
The Charles & Ellora Alliss Educational Foundation provides
scholarships to private
High schools according to the following terms/guidelines:
- School must have a total number of at least 100 students in
grades 9-12 in the current academic school year or an average of at
least 100 students over the past three years.
- School is currently accredited by an association recognized by
the State of Minnesota. School MUST submit a copy(s) of their most
recent verification of accreditation to the Foundation along with
their application.
- 90% or more students, on average, are accepted into and
attending accredited, colleges/universities toward a four-year
college degree during the three year period immediately preceding
the current academic year.
- Scholarships are need-based according to each grantee school's
own financial aid formula.
- It is expected that all of the grant monies will be distributed
as scholarships for the academic year in which the grant is
received. For example, the check received in June 2012 for
scholarships in academic year 2012-2013 must be fully used in the
2012-2013 school year. Only extraordinary or unforeseen
circumstances would justify retention of any portion of the grant
for distribution in subsequent academic years. Each school is
required to notify the Charles & Ellora Alliss Educational
Foundation of any unused scholarship monies by October of the year
the grant was received, and the reason for the balance.
- Only Income accruing to the grantee institution before actual
expenditure or application of the grant funds shall be used by the
grantee in support of its general student aid program.
- To participate, schools complete and submit an application with all required supporting
documents by April 15th of each year.
- The Charles & Ellora Alliss Educational Foundation requires
an annual report from each grantee
institution to be submitted as soon as practical but no
later than October 15 of the year the grant is made. The annual
report will be submitted on-line.
