Churchill Family Positive Change Scholarship
Every one of us has an opportunity to make a positive impact in the world, big or small.
For many, higher education is the pathway to making that difference - for their families, communities, industries, or even broader. Unfortunately, finances and personal hurdles can often get in the way. My hope is to alleviate a small piece of the financial burden that comes with higher education, paying it forward from the scholarship I received that helped make my career possible.
This scholarship seeks to support hardworking students who are aspiring to make positive change in the world through their pursuit of higher education.
Any low-income high school senior with at least a 3.3 GPA that has work experience in a service capacity may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Priority will be given to first-generation college students, New England residents, and those with demonstrated financial need.
To apply, tell us how further education after high school will help you make a difference in your community or in the world at large.
How do you anticipate your further education will support you in making a positive impact in the world or the communities around you?
