Criteria:
The general eligibility requirements for all applicants for undergraduate scholarships are:
1. Applicants must be a current AACC International Student Division member.
2. Only advanced undergraduates applicants (those entering their junior or senior year) will be considered. Applicants must have a grade point average of not less than 3.0 (4-point scale), both cumulatively in all courses and in all science and mathematics courses then completed. The applicant must have at least one term remaining at the time the scholarship is to be awarded.
3. Interest in and intent to pursue a career in grain-based food science and technology or in a related area, including oilseeds, in industry, academia, or government must be demonstrated. The applicant must have completed or projected course work that would support such an objective, and must indicate how the course work would do this.
4. A scholarship recipient who completes degree requirements, withdraws from school or transfers to a different curriculum during tenure of a scholarship becomes ineligible for further payments. It is the separate responsibility of both the student and the department head to notify the AACC International Foundation within thirty (30) days of such an occurrence. In the case of a change of curriculum, the scholarship jury will, at the request of the recipient, review the new curriculum and determine whether or not the applicant is still eligible for support.
5. The recipient must enroll in an academic schedule that meets the minimum requirements for full-time students of the college/university being attended, and must be pursuing an approved course of study leading to a degree from that institution.
6. The educational institution at which the applicant is enrolled must be conducting fundamental investigations for the advancement of grain-based food science and technology or related areas, including oilseeds.
7. Age, sex, race, financial need, or previous receipt or non-receipt of an AACC Intl. scholarship are not conditions of eligibility for any award.
8. The values or terms of any scholarship are subject to change upon agreement with the donor.
