New Kids Can Scholarship
Transferring schools can be a daunting concept that can impact your friendships, extracurriculars, and self-esteem.
Altogether, changing schools can be a great academic disadvantage that is often out of students’ control. All students deserve the opportunity to go to college, so it’s critical to support students who transfer so that their relocation doesn’t stand in their way.
This scholarship aims to support high school students who have been new students at some point in their high school careers.
Any high school senior with at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship if they’ve been a new student at least once during high school.
To apply, tell us how being the “new kid” has affected your friendships, overall life, and future goals.
