Rutherford ScholarshipHigh School Achievement Scholarship
Rutherford Scholarship is not competitive, you must meet the criteria, be enrolled in a post-secondary school (somewhere in the world) AND apply for it. There is no deadline, but when you apply will affect when you can expect to receive your scholarship. You don’t need to apply the first year out of high school, it will ‘wait’ for your application.
