Pereira Art & Technology Scholarship
Many students grow up in underprivileged families, such as those raised by single mothers in low-income households.
When a child grows up with financial insecurity, they often must watch their parents work multiple jobs, endure manual labor, or even face racism, poverty, and discrimination. These experiences can make a student give up on their future before they’ve even begun working towards it, holding them back from achieving their dreams.
This scholarship aims to support students who are pursuing higher education despite the circumstances they were born into.
Any BIPOC high school senior or undergraduate student from a low-income family may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re interested in technology, arts, or business and if they have non-profit or volunteering experience.
To apply, tell us how growing up in a low-income household has impacted your values and goals. Additionally, upload images that display who you are, such as photos of your family, your passions, etc.
Please tell us about your experiences growing up in a low-income family. How has this background shaped who you are today, your values, and your goals for the future?
