Next Chapter Scholarship
Community colleges and trade schools provide affordable tuition, smaller class sizes, and diverse programs, making them an excellent alternative to enrolling in more expensive four-year universities.
Despite lower costs, though, tuition can still be a significant barrier for low-income students. Even the cost of textbooks can be a considerable obstacle to overcome.
This scholarship was created to support those facing financial constraints, so they have the resources needed for success.
Any low-income community college or trade school student who has at least a 2.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
