Eligibility and Application Process

The P.E.O. STAR award is a non-renewable $2,500 award for graduating women in their senior year of high school that must be used within the academic year after graduation or it will be forfeited. Their local P.E.O. branch nominates all applicants.

Eligibility Requirements

A woman is qualified to apply for a STAR Scholarship if:

Individuals who meet these qualifying criteria will be reviewed non-discriminatorily, without regard for race, age, country of origin, religious affiliation, handicap, or P.E.O. connection.

Application Process

Members of a local P.E.O. branch will interview a student before recommending her.

After a local chapter recommends a student, the P.E.O. Executive Office will send the candidate an email with information on how to enter into an online account and finish her application. This must be sent within 30 days of her receiving the email.

The application comprises information about the student’s activities, a one-page essay, two references, and an unofficial high school transcript (up to 11th grade/junior year).

Canadian candidates must additionally include their Province Conversion Grading Scale. The application includes a link that students can email to references, which they must complete by the deadline.
