Bernt Anker, Sons of Norway member since 2005, feels deeply that college students without parents should have the same opportunity and support as students who come from a two-parent household. It is thanks to Mr. Anker's generosity that this four-year scholarship is possible. Applicants must have a certificate of completion from high school or be about to graduate high school. Preference will be given to students without parents or to students raised by single parents. There is no SON membership requirement. The scholarship may be used for any field of study. Two letters of recommendation must be submitted. For students without parents, it is required that they submit one recommendation letter to verify their situation, on institutional letterhead from either their high-school guidance counselor, or an official office of their college (such as the financial aid or bursar's office). Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Sons of Norway Foundation for more information.
