The Stamps Family Charitable Foundation Scholarship Program is designed to recognize and reward exceptional students who exemplify leadership, overcoming obstacles, scholarship, community service, and innovation. Students will receive financial support of up to the full cost of attendance for four years of undergraduate study.

Additionally, Stamps Leadership Scholars may apply for an Enrichment Fund of up to $12,000, if eligible, which may be used any time during the four-year period for: study abroad, undergraduate research, unpaid internship, or professional conferences in the student’s field of study. The student’s eligibility for these funds will depend on campus policies and financial aid regulations.
