Bold Turnaround Story Scholarship
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it,” -Helen Keller.
While obstacles often feel discouraging, they give you a chance to learn, grow, and overcome, ultimately making you a more strong and resilient person.
This scholarship seeks to support students who have overcome difficulties, obstacles, or adversity in their life.
Any student who has turned an obstacle into a positive situation or a learning experience may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us about a turnaround story in your life that you are proud of.

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.
