Description:
The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation (the “Foundation”) anticipates awarding approximately $100,000 in scholarships in 2016. The Foundation intends to set the number of actual scholarships and the amount of an individual scholarship based on a consideration of certain factors, including without limitation, the financial resources and the qualifications of the scholarship recipients.

This scholarship is for high school seniors and students who will be attending a college or university in the United States as a freshman during the 2016-2017 academic year. Applicants who are currently not seniors in high school (e.g., students who are taking a gap year or adults returning to school), but applicants who will be considered incoming freshmen are eligible to apply. Applicants should have demonstrated outstanding personal achievements, academic merit, leadership qualities and/or community service. Special consideration will be noted for applicants:

- who have parents that are United States veterans or are currently in the U.S. military;
- with a demonstrated financial need;
- with parents who did not attend college; or
- with a documented significant disability.

Eligibility:
To be considered for this scholarship, an applicant is required to:

1) Be a freshman in the 2016-2017 academic year and anticipate enrolling at a U.S. accredited college/university in the 2016-2017 academic year.
2) Have a cumulative, un-weighted grade point average between 3.5 and 4.0 on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent). Students not on a 4.0 grading scale must convert their GPA to a 4.0 scale before submitting an application to the Foundation.
3) Have a minimum SAT score of 1800 (out of 2400) or a minimum ACT score of 26. However, if you did not take the SAT or the ACT because the school you will be attending in the fall of 2016 does not require such test scores, please so indicate in the application form. The Foundation will verify this with the school prior to any award.
4) Have at least two reference letters, one of which must be from a current or former teacher in an academic subject.
5) Submit personal statements as further described in this packet.
6) Have applied to a U.S. college/university, either full-time or substantial part-time, and plan to enroll in a minimum of two terms for the school year (verified by submitting a copy of the acceptance letter from the college or university as soon such acceptance letter is available).
7) Submit to interviews in person or by phone/Skype, if requested.
Special Criteria:
The Foundation is trying to reduce the amount of paper used. Therefore, we would prefer that applicants submit a PDF (*) or Word version of their application electronically. We would prefer that applicants download the PDF version of the recommendation form and e-mail the form directly to the two people providing the recommendations. Those recommenders can then complete the forms and submit the recommendation forms directly to the Foundation.

All supplemental application materials, including transcripts, standardized test scores, and tax forms, may be scanned and submitted to the Foundation. For transcripts and test scores, we will ask for official copies if you are awarded a scholarship. Alternatively, you can mail paper copies of those documents to the Foundation.
