Dissolving Roadblocks Scholarship
Paying for college with little or no family assistance can feel impossible and often pushes students to their limits.
Many students work tirelessly to finance their college education, often taking a full course load while holding down a part-time or even full-time job in order to minimize their student loans and cover their living expenses. This balancing act can be overwhelming, especially for students dealing with personal challenges or trauma while trying to focus on their future.
This scholarship aims to support students who are struggling to pay for college but who haven’t given up on their dreams.
Any high school senior or two or four-year undergraduate student who is a resident of Carroll, Coshocton, or Tuscarawas County in Ohio may apply for this scholarship opportunity. However, applicants with a clear career goal who are employed, ambitious and determined to overcome personal trauma in order to succeed are strongly encouraged to apply.
To apply, tell us about yourself, what has made you want to pursue your chosen career, what challenges you have overcome, and how that experience impacted your educational goals.
