Journey 180 Planner Changemaker Scholarship
First-generation college students often don’t have the resources they need to succeed in school in order to complete their degrees.
College-bound students face significant financial obstacles and deserve to be aided throughout their educational pursuits, especially students who have dedicated themselves to giving back to their communities and making an impact on those around them.
This scholarship aims to support students who are the first in their families to pursue and complete a college education.
Any high school senior or four-year undergraduate student who is a first-generation student who has engaged with their community may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us how you have made a difference in your community and how these experiences have helped you grow.
Please tell us about how you have positively impacted any of your communities through efforts related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and/or social justice and how you have grown as a result of these efforts.
