Pursuing higher education comes with many challenges and obstacles that can drive potential students to delay or abandon their educational goals.

In addition to the time commitment required by college, which can be difficult for students who have family responsibilities or need to work, the high price of tuition makes it too expensive for many students. 

This scholarship aims to support students of Lithuanian descent as they pursue higher education in their fields of choice.

Any high school, undergraduate, trade school, or graduate student who has Lithuanian heritage may apply for this scholarship.
