Is the GE Reagan Scholarship Need Based?

They ask for your parents most recent tax return. Does anyone know what the income cutoff for “need” would be? Most Americans, myself included, need help paying for college, but I want to know what the cutoff is before I apply and fill out the lengthy app. Thank you.

I do not know what the cutoff is. Do you have a community leader who will nominate you? This isn’t a scholarship that you just fill out, you need the nomination. @studentathlete18

I do. @NJRoadie

You need a letter of recommendation eventually, like with every other major scholarship, but you do “just fill out” the form initially.

My student who won a GE a few years ago had a 10K need above EFC per year at the private school she would attend. Her parents were quite middle class - certainly not $150k but possibly 100.
