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. The Bernt Anker Scholarship awards up to $3,000 per year for up to four consecutive years for a total of up to $12,000 for each scholarship recipient. Applicants must continue their studies in the United States. They must have a certificate of completion from high school or be about to graduate high school. Applicants must pursue any field of study. Preference will be given to students without parents or to students raised by single parents. Two letters of recommendation are required to be submitted. For students without parents, one recommendation letter to verify their situation, on institutional letterhead, is required. They may be 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.
