Scholarships are distributed directly to the recipient members in the form of stipend checks and may be subject to State or Federal taxation as reportable income. Scholarship eligibility is determined for each new applicant at the time of acceptance, and is reviewed biannually. The Golden Key Scholar Award is presented to outstanding Golden Key members to support post-baccalaureate study at accredited institutions of higher learning. A comprehensive application packet is required. Recipients must plan to enroll in graduate school in fall of the application year.
All new members are eligible.
The new member profile form serves as the application, and the scholarship amounts vary by university. Applicants will be judged on academic achievements and extracurricular activities, including work experience and community service. These scholarships are funded by Golden Key Corporate Council member Ford Motor Company.
