FAR Impact Scholarship
All students deserve to pursue their dreams of higher education, regardless of their background or resources.
In order to level the playing field and uplift disadvantaged students, it’s crucial for financial aid to be readily available for those who need it. For students with goals that will benefit the greater good, such as pursuing public service, it is especially important to provide assistance.
This scholarship seeks to support underserved students by providing financial assistance to lower the cost of college.
Any undergraduate student who is a woman, a first-generation college student, and a historically disadvantaged minority may apply for this scholarship if they’re pursuing a public service field.
To apply, tell us how you’ve made an impact on others, what your career goals are, what field of public service you’re pursuing, and how your goals will affect others.
How have you made an impact on the lives of other individuals and/or your community? What are your career goals and how will your goals impact the lives of others? Tell us what field of public service you are going into?
