Note that the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Graduate Scholarship Program has changed its eligibility criteria.  Starting in 2010, they now select new graduate scholars only from a pool of their college and undergraduate transfer scholarship recipients.  These scholarship recipients will be eligible to apply for a one-time award of up to $50,000 to support their graduate or professional studies. The foundation will notify eligible candidates.
