How will the scholarship funds be delivered?
Award funds are sent directly to the recipient’s university. The school will then make the payment available to the student according to its own disbursement procedures.

Can previous GeneTex Scholarship recipients apply again?
Yes. Individuals who have previously received the GeneTex Scholarship are permitted to submit another application.

Are there restrictions on how I can use the money?
No. Recipients may use the scholarship funds however they see fit; GeneTex does not impose usage restrictions.

How are applications evaluated?
A review panel of three to five GeneTex employees will assess eligible applications. The award will be given to the applicant whose materials the committee determines best reflect and align with GeneTex’s values and mission.

What supporting documents must I submit?
