S3G Advisors NextGen Scholarship
Today’s young entrepreneurs, tinkerers, and visionaries are the future of the world and will go far if they stick to their dreams.
However, the many challenges and obstacles that life prevents can cause even the most ambitious students to lose faith in their goals. Students from underestimated backgrounds, in particular, can face barriers that may seem insurmountable, such as financial limitations, social discrimination, and a lack of mentorship.
This scholarship seeks to support the next generation of students who plan to do big things by forging their own paths.
Any BIPOC undergraduate student who is a first-generation college student may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re from the Midwest and attending a Midwest state school and if they’re pursuing STEM, business, or other disciplines with a strong problem-solving or innovation focus.
