Announces


Jack Kent Cooke


Graduate Scholarship Program


 

 

 

The Foundation 

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation is a private, independent foundation
dedicated to advancing the education of excep-tionally promising
students. We offer several scholarship programs, including this program
for students who wish to pursue a graduate or professional degree. 

 

The Scholarship

Our Graduate Scholarship enables students or recent alumni with
exceptional promise and demonstrated financial need to pursue up to six
years of study at an accredited graduate institution in the US or
abroad. 

Demonstrated financial need includes (1) low family and student income
and assets in light of educational expenses, and (2) substantial unmet
educational costs after taking into account other scholarships and
grants students may receive. Students in any discipline are eligible.

 

The Award 

The Graduate Scholarship Program provides funding for tuition, room and
board, required fees, and books. Scholarship amounts vary based on
several factors, including costs at the institution each recipient
attends and other grants and scholarships the student receives. Awards
can be for as much as $50,000 annually. 

 

Minimum Eligibility 

To be eligible to compete for the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Graduate
Scholarship, a candidate must 

*          Be a college senior OR a recent graduate (within the last
five years) from an accredited college or university in the US, 

*          Have a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or better on a 4.0 scale (or
the equivalent), 

*          Plan to begin first graduate degree program in the coming
fall, and 

*          Be nominated by his or her undergraduate institution. 

 

Application Procedure 

Students must be nominated by their undergraduate insti-tutions. They
cannot apply directly. Each accredited four-year college or university
may nominate two candidates.

internal deadlines for receiving applications to select their nominees.
