Hodge Legacy Community Service Scholarship
Education has great power and gives students the potential to change their own lives and to better their communities.
However, financial limitations stand in the way of many bright and passionate students who have all of the dedication they need to succeed in school but not the resources they need to get there. Scholarships, grants, and other financial aid are often the only way low-income students are able to afford college. Students who receive this help often go on to do great things and to give back and help those following in their footsteps.
This scholarship seeks to support students who don’t have the financial means to attend college but are passionate about making a difference in the world.
With a focus on students who come from underrepresented backgrounds, this scholarship's mission is to open doors to higher education and inspire future leaders who will contribute meaningfully to their communities. Through this scholarship, we aim to create lasting opportunities that help students achieve their academic goals and build a legacy of service and success.
Any low-income high school senior from Flint, Michigan who has community service experience and at least a 2.5 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, submit an essay telling us about your experiences with community service and why you think giving back is so important.
In an essay of 600 words or less, tell us about your experiences in community service and why you believe it is important to give back and pay things forward.
