Many students feel called to further their education through college programs, yet their goals are often out of reach due to their financial circumstances.

Higher education comes at great expense and the costs of both tuition and living expenses are continuing to rise. The average family can’t afford to pay these high fees and many students receive little to no assistance from their parents as a result. When higher education becomes infeasible, students lose out on a myriad of opportunities that may have been available with a college degree.

This scholarship aims to help students prepare for the next step in their journeys by making higher education more affordable.

Any high school senior, student finishing a GED program, current undergraduate, graduate or trade school student may apply for this scholarship if they plan to pursue a college degree.
