It is awarded to students pursuing academic or career technical education. It includes a $5,000 award for academic recipients, $3,000 for career-technical recipients, renewable for up to four years for academic programs, and up to three years for career-technical programs. It covers tuition, room and board, books, tools, and other expenses.
