Bright Lite Scholarship
The next generation is full of passionate and ambitious students who have dreams of helping the world become a better place.
Bright Lite Charity believes education is a fundamental right for all students, regardless of their background.
As college becomes increasingly expensive, funding has become one of the most significant barriers to higher education for low-income students. Bright Lite Charity is a strong advocate of increasing opportunities for higher education among all generations of students. These students will play pivotal roles in addressing and fighting the violence, poverty, illness, climate change, and other serious issues facing the world, creating a better future for billions to enjoy. In order to achieve these goals and make an impact, students need access to higher education so they can expand their minds and gain the knowledge they’ll need throughout their careers.
This scholarship aims to uplift low-income students who are devoted to helping their communities so they can achieve their goals and bring about positive change.
Any low-income high school senior or undergraduate student from New York and has at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
