Apply now for one of four $5,000 college scholarships for individuals with cleft lip and/or palate and other craniofacial conditions

The American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association (ACPA) awards four college scholarships annually to outstanding students born with cleft or craniofacial conditions.

The scholarships honor Dr. Peter Randall and Dr. Don LaRossa for their service to children and dedication to improving the quality of life for individuals affected by cleft lip/palate and other craniofacial conditions.

The 2027 scholarship application cycle is open through Jan. 8. The program will select four recipients to receive an award of $5,000 based on:

• Past academic performance
• Leadership and/or community and school involvement
• Future academic success
• The applicant’s essays

Additional student eligibility requirements include:

• A diagnosis of cleft lip and/or cleft palate or other congenital craniofacial difference
• No receipt of an ACPA college scholarship in the past
• Full-time enrollment for fall 2027 in an accredited United States post-secondary institution or program
• An unweighted cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or greater

The program gives preference to rising first-year students entering any field. Currently-enrolled undergraduate students may also apply. Postgraduate students are not eligible to apply for the scholarships.
