James M. & Erma T. Freemont Foundation Scholarship

Program Guidelines & Priorities:

• Seeking undergraduate students with a record of leadership and volunteerism in the community in non-school sponsored activities and participation in extracurricular school activities.
• Applicants must be accepted or enrolled in an accredited HBCU for the Fall 2026/Spring 2027 academic year (enrollment must begin in the Fall) with the intention of maintaining full-time status for the entire year. (HBCU is defined as historically black colleges and universities.)
• This application is not for graduating high school seniors. All incoming freshman must complete the application for the 2026-27 Scholarship Program for Graduating High School Seniors.
• Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale)
• Applicant must be a United States Citizen
• Applicants must be pursuing an undergraduate degree in the sciences with the intention of pursuing that discipline as a career. The following majors will be considered: Biomedical and Biological Sciences, Engineering and Engineering Technology, Health Professions, Mathematics and Statistics, Physical Sciences, Psychology, and Science Technology.
• Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation that are specific to your application to the Freemont Foundation Scholarship Program:
• one from a professor, counselor, or administrator;
• one from a community member or officer of an organization in which the applicant is affiliated.

Do not submit more than two letters. The letters of recommendation must be signed by the person writing the letter; digital or electronic signatures will not be accepted and will void your application. The letters may either be included with your application submission or emailed separately from the persons writing your recommendation.

Applicants must submit the most recent official transcript from the last completed semester.

• The official transcript(s) may be sent electronically via email from the school directly or from the school’s official transcript service, a service such as Credentials Solutions, Parchment or other transcript service.
• We will not accept transcripts sent via email from applicants. DO NOT SEND IT WITH YOUR APPLICATION. This will void your application. No exceptions.
• If your official transcript cannot be sent electronically, a school official can email transcripts to scholarship@freemontfoundation.com. The email address must be associated with the school/institution.
• Transcripts sent from Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, or other generic email providers will not be accepted. This will void your application. No exceptions.
• If your school is no longer in operation, you must confirm that your academic records can still be obtained. If your transcript is no longer available, contact us at info@freemontfoundation.com.
