The Intertribal Council of AT&T Employees (ICAE) has developed the 2005 Scholarship Program as a way to reach back into local communities to financially assist distinguished students in continuing their higher education.  The ICAE Scholarship Program will issue scholarship grants to qualified applicants who are selected primarily for their individual merit.  Eligibility requirements will be used to initially screen applications prior to the actual review process.  High School students accepted at, or College students enrolled full-time in an accredited undergraduate program are eligible to apply.  Candidates must be U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents.

After the initial screening process, the remaining eligible candidates will be evaluated based on their scholastic discipline, personal achievement, and community involvement.  The ICAE Scholarship Committee based on a uniform, weighted point average system will select scholarship winners collectively.

Those selected from the eligible applications postmarked by July 30, 2005, will receive $1000.00 in award money to use towards his or her higher education.
