Nance Family Purpose Finders Scholarship
Everyone has a purpose, but it can be difficult to plan the next step. Sometimes, all someone needs is a little help finding their way.
Young people from underserved areas or low-income families may feel overlooked, under-supported, or unsure of how to push towards their goals. Community-oriented students who are passionate about helping those around them should be uplifted so they can overcome the obstacles they face and serve others along the way.
This scholarship aims to support students who are from financially limited backgrounds so they can afford to pursue higher education.
Any high school student at Sheffield High School in Alabama may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re from a low-income family.
