The Ostergar Scholarship Fund was created specifically for students at Escalante High School, to encourage our highest academic achievers in each graduating class to apply to the top tier universities across the country, rather than limiting their applications to those which are close to their hometown. Scholarship awardees will be able to have the fees associated with submitting applications to these universities and colleges covered and may be able to have some travel costs for out-of-state interviews at these institutions covered as well. Selection criteria will focus on academic achievement, and the students having a high probability of being accepted the institutions to which they apply.
These awards are made to further the education or training of students whose parents or guardians have been or are incarcerated.
The Fund was established by Karl Winsness, who spent years in prison and knows the impact that can have on young people and their dreams.
Applicants must be a resident of the State of Utah, be graduating from or have graduated from a Utah High School with a GPA of 2.0 or above (though preference is given to students with a 3.0 or above), be admitted or attending a two or four-year accredited college, university or vocational/technical school, and demonstrate financial need.
