Brotherhood Bows Scholarship
Many students are in need of financial aid as the costs of a college education continue to rise, becoming increasingly inaccessible for the average student.
Unfortunately, there is limited funding for scholarships, and many of the opportunities available are reserved for students who display academic excellence or leadership achievement. As a result, many students who demonstrate the equally important strengths of determination, integrity, and perseverance in overcoming adversity are left behind.
Everyone battles with adversity at some point in their life. Adversity is defined as a state of continued struggle, hardship, and difficulty that causes prolonged distress – often caused by a major or a series of unfortunate events outside your control. This scholarship aims to support students who have shown resilience in overcoming their own challenges.
Any high school student or undergraduate student who has been faced with adversity may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, write an essay of 1,000 words or less, telling us about a time that you encountered an obstacle or challenge. How did you navigate this situation, and what lessons did you learn from it? Who was your support system and why?
