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.

Applicants should have demonstrated outstanding personal achievements, academic merit, leadership qualities and/or community service. Special consideration will be noted for applicants:

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

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

• Be currently a high school senior in good standing and anticipate enrolling at a U.S. accredited college/university or vocational program in the 2011-2012 academic year as a freshman.
• Have a cumulative, un-weighted grade point average between 3.0 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.
• Have a minimum SAT score of 1700 (out of 2400) or a minimum ACT score of 24. However, if you did not take the SAT or the ACT because the school you will be attending in the fall of 2011 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.
• Have at least two reference letters, one of which must be from a current or former teacher in an academic subject.
• Submit personal statements as further described in this packet.
• Have applied to a U.S. college/university or vocational program, 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).
• Submit to interviews in person or by phone, if requested.

The Foundation will provide the scholarship funds directly to the institution where the scholarship recipient enrolls. The scholarship funds will not be paid to the applicant directly. If the scholarship recipient does not matriculate at the educational institution or withdraws from enrollment, the Foundation will seek reimbursement for any funds paid to the educational institution.

If you meet the scholarship applicant requirements, you can download and submit the application forms on the Scholarship Application page.

LONG BEACH, CA— With the national unemployment rate for veterans with severe disabilities at 85 percent, a unique Long Beach program aims to make a difference, helping those who wore the uniform and were seriously injured, get good jobs and careers in a tough economy.

Officially opening on December 2, the Long Beach Paralyzed Veterans of America Vocational Rehabilitation Office will empower veterans with disabilities with the services and tools they need to reintegrate into the job market—while matching them with businesses and organizations with career positions.

Join Paralyzed Veterans of America’s National Vice President Al Kovach and former U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the Honorable Anthony Principi, who now serves as QTC’s Executive Chairman, and Betty B. Louie, President of The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation for the launch of this important initiative. Speakers will include VA officials, local business leaders, paralyzed veterans who have secured good jobs through the program’s existing offices around the nation, and veterans with disabilities from the Southern California area who are already enrolled in the Long Beach program.

The office, part of an emerging network, is based at the Long Beach VA Medical Center. It is being established through an innovative public-private partnership between Paralyzed Veterans of America, The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation, QTC Management, Inc., and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Betty Louie speaking on December 2, 2009, at the opening ceremony of the Long Beach Paralyzed Veterans of America Vocational Rehabilitation Office sponsored in part by The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation.
