The scholarships are $2,000.00 per year and are renewable for 4 years provided the student requests renewal each year. We do not offer scholarships to junior, senior or graduate college students. The application deadline is May 1st. The applications are then reviewed by the Scholarship Selection Committee. The applicant will then be notified of his/her selection or non-selection. Once a student has been selected for a Treacy Foundation scholarship, that student will receive preference for renewal each year provided they write the Treacy Foundation requesting renewal by the May 1st deadline. We do provide preference to students requesting renewal of their scholarships, so we are limited on the number of new scholarships granted each year.
