No problem. Just email us with your name and the updated information and will be sure to make a note of it on your application. **Please do not submit more than one application.**

This is acceptable, but the program used for the application may time out and you may lose all of your information submitted. It is highly recommended that you write your responses in another document and then transfer them into the application.

No, you shouldn’t worry. We work to stay on track with the posted timelines for the scholarship. However, there are cases where we may need to push out timelines. If this needs to occur, we will be sure to contact all applicants ahead of time. However, if you are still worried, feel free to email us at contact@lmgfoundation.org.

Yes! There will be a section on your application to make us aware of your decision to reapply.

If at all possible, we encourage against this.

From our years of experience in reviewing applications, the best applications were from those that took their time and fully addressed the application’s questions. We highly encourage the following: Share any unique experiences Explain any lapse in education Detailed financial needs Show their personality through their responses We highly discourage the following: Repeating or copying and pasting answers throughout the application An application completed by someone other than the applicant Belief responses or responses that show little to no interest or effort

We understand that there may be items you may not be able to capture in your application fully. Therefore, the interview is a critical component of our evaluation process as it allows us to gain deeper insights into your aspirations, accomplishments, and personal journey. Furthermore, the interview allows us to get to know you better and assess not just your academic qualifications but also your character, motivation, and commitment to your goals. Finally, we believe it helps both you and our Foundation’s review board to ensure the best decision in partnership for your education.

Generally, we provide a wide time frame for scheduling your interview. You are more than welcomed to reschedule to a different (whether earlier or later). However, we do ask that you try to provide at least a 48-72 hour notice to your interviewer.

Unfortunately, no as the interview is a required part of the applicant consideration process.

We encourage you to come as your best self for the interview. Please ensure that you have a stable internet connection and access to the virtual platform, dress professionally, are in a well-lit, comfortable location that allows for uninterrupted conversion, and be prepared to discuss your academic achievements, career aspirations, and passion for making a positive impact through education.

We desire to have more than a financial impact on our recipients Therefore, selected scholarship recipients must also agree to participate in the mentorship program.

The time obligation is subject to change depending on the schedules, demands, and needs of both the recipients and the mentors. However, we work to have a basis of meeting once a month from September to May.

This is something we strongly encourage you to consider your level of and desire to participate in the mentorship program before applying for the scholarship. We understand that schedules change and time is needed to make the adjustment for college. However, active participation in the mentorship program is required. Persons who are awarded the scholarship but do not participate in the mentorship program risk forfeiting their scholarship funding for future semesters.

Funds will be provided once during the fall semester and again during the spring semester. We unfortunately are unable to deviate from this disbursement of funds.

To guarantee funds are provided to the appropriate institutions and are used for the recipient’s educational needs, all money funds will be sent directly to the colleges or universities listed by the recipient on their behalf.

We understand obtaining documents for the scholarship can take additional time. We will allow you to submit notes in place of the required documents, letting us know that you are working to obtain the reference letter. However, please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that your letters are provided to us prior to the scholarship deadline. Applications with missing reference letters or other required documents will not be considered complete, and the applicant will not be considered for the scholarship.

The submission of two (2) reference letters is a required part of the applicant review process. Without submission of the reference letters by the scholarship deadline will result in the applicant's application being rejected.

To ensure the authenticity of the reference letters submitted, both reference letters are required to be signed and dated by the person writing the letter.

Beyond the listed requirements, we do ask that reference letters not be provided in Google doc or other editable formats. Additionally, letters do not have to be addressed to our organization but will need to be written within 2 years of the application submission date.

You can simply send us a message through our contact page or send us an email at contact@lmgfoundation.org, and we will be sure to get back in contact with you shortly.
