After much careful consideration, FESF has decided to eliminate one of its awards and instead offer a singular $10,000 award for the upcoming 2011-12 academic year. The Tessie Eerligh Scharing Memorial Scholarship will be open to both women and men. Our desire is that this singular award will make a greater impact on the life of one deserving student seeking a bachelor's degree at a liberal arts college or university. The application and all supporting materials must be received by April 15, 2011. As in previous years, all materials must be mailed directly to our post office box, which does not accept FedEx or UPS deliveries.
