TYPES OF COMPETITIVE Awards
Each year, Doyon Foundation awards 25 competitive scholarships totaling $243,000 (depending on available funds). Awards range from $8,500 for undergraduates, $10,500 for graduate students, and $12,500 for doctoral students.
Competitive awards are presented once a year, with half of the funds being distributed for the fall semester and half for the spring semester. Applications must be received by May 15; November 15 is the deadline for competitive recipients to reapply for spring semester funding. View our scholarship resource handbook for full details on scholarship eligibility and the application process.
These competitive awards are made possible by the generosity of many individual and corporate donors. We invite you to view a list of current donors or get involved by making an online donation.
