Dr. Fletcher L. Gamble Scholarship
The transition from high school to college can be daunting, especially for students who have no family background in higher education.
Navigating college applications, standardized testing, financial aid, and the new environment of a college campus is no easy task, especially for students who have limited guidance from their parents. Thriving in college requires being prepared for the many challenges that will come up and being committed to persevering in spite of these obstacles.
This scholarship aims to support students who are preparing to make the leap from high school to college so they can be set up for success.
