They are not graduating from high school in the Spring and are presently attending colleges, post graduate studies, and even doctoral degrees. Some are individuals who have been out of high school or college for many years and are going back to school to pursue or complete a degree.
Non-traditional students have various difficulties in completing the application which is geared towards the graduating high school senior. Please be assured that you do qualify for this scholarship if you are a Bucks County resident (US Citizen) and show a financial need in order to pursue a "post high school" degree.
