FFROA notes that to be an eligible applicant for either scholarship, a student “must be an American citizen, age 16 or older, and currently enrolled in public or private high school, homeschool, college/university, or trade school.”
Applicants can apply once per semester although they are “only eligible to receive one scholarship.”
“So, if you applied and did not win a scholarship, you are eligible to apply for the next round or any round thereafter,” the website elaborates.
Recent FFROA scholarship winners have reflected on their experience as a valuable one which taught them the value of the United States’ founding principles.
“[A]s an American citizen, I have a calling to personally preserve freedom here and now – the same calling that every citizen is faced with,” said Elise Degeeter, who won a $10,000 scholarship.

$5,000 scholarship winner Benjamin Joerger agreed, stating, “The American people have the power to protect and advance their God-given right, yet few understand and utilize that power.”
“The principles and declarations made in the Constitution rest on the idea that the consent of the governed is what gives the government its power,” he added.
“One way we can protect the freedoms in the Constitution is by electing representatives who will stand firm on their convictions rather than caving to public pressure,” said $2,000 scholarship winner Hannah Bishop.
“Instead of giving away the intangible treasure of freedom, it must be cherished,” emphasized Christopher Sepka, the winner of a $2,000 scholarship. “It must be guarded from the thieves that lurk at every corner.”
