The Frank M. and Gertrude R. Doyle Foundation was established in 1996, originally as the Frank M. Doyle Foundation, a non-profit organization that awarded scholarships to students in Huntington Beach, California. In 2008, it became known as the Frank M. and Gertrude R. Doyle Foundation after Gertrude passed away. Frank was the seventh son of immigrant parents. Both he and Gertrude believed in the value of a good education.
This scholarship is unique in that it does not require a specific grade point average, nor are there requirements on income level or age. It also offers a broad range of schools for which students may receive scholarships, such as four-year colleges and universities, community colleges and trade schools. Scholarships are available based on financial need and also on academic merit.
The deadline for this scholarship is usually in MARCH of each year, and the award amount is usually $500 - $30,000.
