New Beginnings Immigrant Scholarship
Immigrating to a new home takes resilience, determination, and a strong commitment to achieving one’s aspirations.
Many immigrants have overcome extraordinary challenges and obstacles to continue their academic journeys and pursue their dreams. As a result of these hurdles, many students from immigrant backgrounds have limited financial resources which can make higher education inaccessible.
This scholarship seeks to support immigrant students so they can continue working toward their educational goals.
Any first-generation high school senior, undergraduate, trade school, or graduate student who is an immigrant may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us about your experience as an immigrant and your career aspirations.

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.
