“Equal Opportunity” Scholarship
The road to higher education in the United States is not an easy one, especially for students from minority communities.
The competitive and, at times, isolating nature of academic settings, combined with the rapidly rising costs of tuition, supplies, and living expenses, can make it daunting for students to pursue a college education, especially if they are the first in their family to do so or they have limited resources.
This scholarship seeks to support underrepresented students who are pursuing their dreams of higher education.
Any underrepresented minority who is a high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student may apply for this scholarship opportunity.

Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution or future academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
