Up to two awards are granted annually, with recipients selected based on academic record, leadership, work experience, educational goals, and personal circumstances. Eligibility is open to high school seniors, undergraduates, and graduate students planning full-time enrollment in accredited institutions, with a focus on fields such as theatrical arts, music, medical courses, orthopedics, or orthopedic surgery research. Applications reopen in November, requiring transcripts, redacted IRS Form 1040, and optional test scores, with notifications in March and payments in July.
