## About this scholarship

The Jacques Parker and Marie Deguard Scholarship is a financial aid program administered by the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. This scholarship is designed to support students who are pursuing higher education, helping them cover the costs associated with attending college. Applicants can use the funding to help manage tuition and other educational expenses at their chosen institution. 

To apply for this scholarship, students must submit their application through the foundation's portal. The annual deadline to complete and submit all required application materials is March 15. Because this is a need-based and merit-based opportunity, applicants are typically expected to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also known as the FAFSA, or their state's equivalent financial aid application. This step allows the selection committee to verify the applicant's financial need and determine their eligibility. Recipients can apply the funds directly toward their college expenses for the upcoming academic year.
