Many students don’t have access to standard scholarship opportunities due to difficult academic standards or other barriers.

When students aren’t provided with the financial aid they need, a gap opens between them and the educational futures of their dreams. Education should be accessible to all, especially students from Gold Star families (families that have lost a member in the line of duty in the armed forces). Gold Star families have sacrificed so much, often resulting in a diminished ability to help their children access higher education.

This scholarship seeks to honor and support Gold Star families by uplifting students who are preparing to finish high school and pursue further education.

Any low-income high school senior from a Gold Star Family may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have at least a 2.5 GPA. However, students who live in manufactured houses or subsidized housing, applicants who are the children of farmers or truck drivers, and/ or students from single-parent homes are preferred. Applicants from North Carolina are also encouraged to apply.

To apply, submit a short essay telling us about your loved one who passed away in the line of duty, as well as your family and background.
