College brings about many exciting opportunities and changes but also comes with significant financial challenges.

Not only is higher education often financially inaccessible, it is also very complex and confusing. There are resources available to help students make a payment plan and to find financial aid, but many students aren’t aware of all of their options and may get overwhelmed when looking for help.

This scholarship seeks to empower and invest in a local student's academic journey in order to ease the financial burden of college and encourage their pursuit of higher education.  

Any underrepresented minority high school senior or two or four-year undergraduate student who is a resident of New York City or Westchester, NY may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
