Submit the completed form letter to Concord Capital Mineral Club's website, no later than December 1st of this year. All Scholarship Request Letters are reviewed in a timely matter.

The interview date and time will be 11:30 am on the 2nd Saturday of January. The committee will also host a lunch for the interviewing candidates. The interview process will give the candidate an opportunity to casually socialize with the Scholarship Committee members and to further explain and describe the desired training program they want to attend. The committee's general areas of interest are: why you are applying for the scholarship, your need for the funds and how they will help you, how you expect to benefit from the program in which you wish to participate.
