Hines Scholarship
Earning a college degree is the biggest and longest-harbored dream of many young people, with a college education unlocking a whole new world of career opportunities.
Enrolling in higher education is an especially important endeavor for students from minority backgrounds, who often face significant barriers when pursuing their dreams. In light of the racial wealth gap, degree attainment can be a particularly useful tool in ending cycles of poverty and building a better legacy for generations to come.
This scholarship aims to support underrepresented students who are pursuing higher education so they can overcome the obstacles they face and succeed.
Any minority high school or undergraduate student who has at least a 2.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
