Immigrating to a new home takes resilience, determination, and a strong commitment to achieving one’s aspirations.

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.
