Eligibility Criteria

The Larry H. Miller Education Foundation
Dependent Child Scholarship

Purpose:

The purpose of the Larry H. Miller Education Foundation (the “Foundation”) is to provide educational assistance to dependent children of eligible full-time employees (“Eligible Employee”) of the Larry H. Miller Company, and select companies managed by the Larry H. Miller Company (“Dependent Children or Dependent Child”). The assistance can be used for undergraduate study at any accredited university, college, trade, or vocational school, with credit hours to be applied toward a bona fide degree or equivalent.  Allowable expenses are limited to standard customary tuition, fees and books, not to exceed $10,000 per academic year for tuition1 and books and not to exceed $300 per semester/quarter for books.

Policy:

  • Those Dependent Children seeking financial assistance available through the Larry H. Miller Education Foundation must complete an online application and submit it to the Scholarship Selection Committee of the Larry H. Miller Education Founda­tion via the Larry H. Miller Education Foundation website. An annual meeting will be held with the Selection Committee for the purpose of reviewing applications to select recipients for financial assistance from the Foundation.
  • Scholarship Funding will be approved by the Selection Committee for each academic school year, and may be renewable, on application, for twelve semesters or eighteen quarters, provided the Dependent Child Recipient continues to meet the eligibility criteria described below. Dependent Child Recipients may receive Scholarship Funding for a maximum of six semesters or nine quarters while pursuing an associate’s degree, and a maximum of twelve semesters or eighteen quarters while pursuing a bachelor’s degree. If a Dependent Child earns an associate’s degree and then proceeds in pursuing a bachelor’s degree, they may continue to apply for funding; however, the maximum of twelve semesters or eighteen quarters will be inclusive of those quarters or semesters used to obtain the associates degree.
  • A Dependent Child Recipient is eligible to receive Scholarship funds up to the age of twenty-nine. If a Dependent Child Recipient is attending a then current semester or quarter when they turn twenty-nine, they may complete the quarter or semester but may not apply for renewal after turning twenty-nine.
  • Applicants are notified of their official approval/ denial status by letter through the US Postal Service which will be sent on or before August 5 of each year. Applicants are then notified by the scholar administrator by email one week following the receipt of their official letter. Additionally, the Applicant’s acceptance / denial status will be update on their Larry H. Miller Dependent Scholarship website account portal. Scholarship Funding will be made directly to the respective educational institution’s financial aid department to pay for applicable tuition and customary fees. If tuition or fees are paid directly by the Dependent Child Recipient, or any other person, no reimbursement will be made, unless prior approval is obtained from the Selection Committee or the Education Foundation Program Administrator.
  • Reimbursement requests for books must be submitted within 30 days of the beginning of each semester/quarter. The book reimbursement form is available on the Larry H. Miller Education Foundation website and must be submitted through the student’s online account. If a Dependent Child Recipient withdraws or drops below Full-Time Status during the quarter or semester the Dependent Child Recipient’s tuition/fees must be refunded to the Foundation within 30 days of the occurrence. If the Dependent Child Recipient has good reason to withdraw, such as an unforeseen medical condition, the Dependent Child must inform the Education Foundation Program Administrator who will then seek approval from the Selection Committee for a waiver of the refund requirement prior to withdrawing or dropping below Full-Time Status.
