## About this scholarship

The Diane Kay Bamberth Memorial Award, administered by the Unity Foundation of La Porte County, is designed for graduating seniors from La Porte High School. To qualify for this program, candidates must plan to enroll full-time in an undergraduate bachelor's degree program at an accredited, tax-exempt college or university. Rather than a standard student application, this award relies on nominations from community members, educators, clergy, or family members. Nominees must demonstrate specific personal qualities, including leadership, humility, courage, tenacity, and a commitment to community service. The provider accepts these nominations on a rolling basis beginning January 1, 2027. Because this is a merit- and character-based nomination award rather than a need-based scholarship, the selection process does not require applicants to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or any state-level financial aid forms to determine eligibility. Financial assistance from the award is applied directly toward the recipient's higher education expenses.
