Camari Hunt 4x Foundation Independent Living Expenses Scholarship
Pursuing higher education can be difficult for any student, coming with many costs, responsibilities, and stressors. Students pursuing their educational goals while living independently and actively contributing to their communities face even more challenges.
Financial assistance can go a long way in alleviating some of the burdens associated with independent living expenses, helping individuals succeed academically and personally by allowing them to focus more exclusively on their studies.
