  • You must have at least one full year of undergraduate education left before you graduate. You are not eligible to receive a Trow scholarship if you are graduating before May 2026, meaning you need to be enrolled fulltime in fall 2025 and spring 2026.

  • Applicants must have a cumulative GPA of 3.3 (on a 4.0 scale) or higher.

Application Procedure

  • Complete the application form, making sure to answer each applicable question completely.

  • Be sure your responses are confined to the space allotted on the application form.

  • Prepare the supplemental materials. Each application must be accompanied by:

    • Complete transcripts (official or unofficial) from each college/university attended;

    • One reference form (to be submitted by the person providing the reference). This reference can be from a professor, employer, campus advisor, or ALD advisor. The reference form needs to be submitted via ALD’s application portal by the deadline. The application will ask you for their name, position, and email address, which then generates an email to them with a link to complete.

  • Touch base with your advisor with questions about the local scholarship process. Your application will be reviewed at the chapter level. If your application is selected by your chapter, it will be forwarded to the ALD scholarship selection committee.
