International students now account for 4.7% of total college student enrollment in the U.S.
International students and immigrants attending school in the United States not only help stimulate the economy, but also culturally diversify universities in America.
The JDT Ventures Scholarship Fund was established to encourage non-US citizens to pursue further education. Two scholarships of $500 each will be awarded to be used towards educational expenses. High school seniors who are both international students/immigrants and come from low-income families are eligible to apply.
To apply, please describe the impact that growing up in a low-income household had on your character and what your goals are for the future.
How has your experience coming from a low income household helped shape who you are? What are your goals for your future?
The application deadline is Apr 19, 2023. Winners will be announced on May 19, 2023.

The winner will be publicly announced on May 19, 2023. Prior to the announcement date, we may contact finalists with additional questions about their application. We will work with donors to review all applications according to the scholarship criteria. Winners will be chosen based on the merit of their application.
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.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
