Scholarships Introduction     Application Tips     Lilly Scholarship Criteria


Please read carefully before accessing the online application.

To access the on-line application, you’ll need Acrobat Reader (available as a free download here). The application file may take several minutes to download; if it doesn’t work, make sure you have a recent version of Acrobat Reader. If you still can’t download the application you may need to use a different computer or get a hard copy from your high school guidance office.

Once you open the file, select the hand tool, position the pointer in the field you wish to fill in, and begin typing. You can navigate from field to field using the tab key or by repositioning the cursor.

All fields have restrictions on the amount of text that may be entered. Some fields will auto-complete; for example, if you type your name in one blank, it will automatically fill in all blanks for your name.

The form cannot be saved and completed another time; if you try to save, you will lose all information you’ve already filled in. For this reason you may want to print out a blank copy to use as a draft; when your draft is complete, fill out the online application.

Once you’ve completed typing the application, print it out as instructed. The application cannot be submitted electronically.

Remember to sign the application once you’ve printed it out. Unsigned applications are disqualified.

All application materials are due in our office by noon, January 15, 2009.
