JBL Scholarship Trusts uses a web-based student scholarship application portal. The 3rd party service provider for this scholarship award software is AwardSpring.com. JBL’s assigned URL is – https://jbl.awardspring.com. All applications will be accepted electronically only through our new scholarship system only. Our office no longer accepts application forms through email or postal mail. All accompanying application forms will need to be uploaded into the student accounts. The only form that should be emailed or faxed to the JBL Scholarship office is the Part II Endorsement Form sent directly from the schools.
To begin, all applicants will be asked to register and create a student account. If you have previously created a student account, you will not need to create another. You will use the same student account as you have in the past. If you have forgotten your password, you may reset it.
When you log into your student account, the forms and documents required to complete the scholarship application are in the system and may be downloaded to your desktop. You will complete the fillable forms. Save the forms with your full name. Once complete, you will be asked to upload the completed documents to your student portal page. Through this portal, our office will communicate with applicants. Student will be able to access their application and portal page throughout the entire application process.
