By investing in their education, we hope to empower these young individuals and equip them with the tools they need to thrive and honor the memory of their lost siblings.

Age: The applicant must be a high school student currently enrolled in their senior year in Maryland or planning to enroll in an accredited post-secondary institution. 


Loss of Sibling: The loss of the applicant's sibiling must have occurred during infancy, pregnancy or toddlerhood (age 5 and under). They must provide documentation or verification of the loss, such as a birth or death certificate. 

*If a birth or death certificate is not available to provide documentation or verification of the loss of a sibling during/after pregnancy alternative forms of documentation can be considered. Some alternative options:


• Medical Records: The applicant may provide medical records that confirm the pregnancy or the birth of the sibling, as well as any relevant medical information regarding the loss.


• Letter from Healthcare Professional: A letter from a healthcare professional who was involved in the care of the sibling, such as an obstetrician, pediatrician, or neonatologist, can be submitted to verify the loss.


• Statement from a Parent or Guardian: A statement from the applicant's parent or legal guardian detailing the circumstances of the loss can serve as documentation.


• Funeral or Memorial Records: If applicable, records from the funeral home or memorial service can provide evidence of the loss.*


Academic Standing: The applicant should have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) or equivalent, reflecting satisfactory academic performance. 


Application Materials: The applicant must submit a completed scholarship application, including all required documents, such as academic transcripts, a personal essay, and any other materials specified in the application guidelines. 


Personal Essay: The applicant's essay should focus on how the loss of their sibling has impacted their life and how they have coped with grief and loss. The essay should provide insights into their aspirations, achievements, and future goals. 


Recommendations: The applicant may be required to submit one or more letters of recommendation from teachers, counselors, or community leaders who can attest to their character, academic achievements, and potential for success.
