Pursuing higher education is a valuable investment into one’s future, but it is often an expensive, overwhelming experience.
Leaving behind one’s classmates, family, and hometown in exchange for a new city, new peers, and challenging coursework is an intimidating process, compounded by the financial burden presented by college.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Gloria Rickett by supporting students who are preparing to begin college.

The winner will be publicly announced on Sep 30, 2024. Prior to the announcement date, we may contact finalists with additional questions about their application. We will work with donors to review all applications according to the scholarship criteria. Winners will be chosen based on the merit of their application.
Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution or future academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
