Destinie’s Dollars for Degrees Scholarship
It often takes a village to reach your goals and get where you want to be in life.
While all students can benefit from support, some students need extra resources due to the obstacles they face. First-generation students and BIPOC students often lack the mentorship and financial resources that other students take for granted, making higher education less accessible.
This scholarship aims to support underrepresented students so they can overcome barriers and complete their education.
Any BIPOC undergraduate student who is pursuing a two or four-year degree and is a first-generation college student may apply for this scholarship.
