Pushing Our Scholars Forward
College degrees have become increasingly out of reach as tuition, supplies, textbooks, and living expenses all climb out of reach of the average student.
In order to afford these rising costs and make ends meet, many students have to work while in school. Though this balancing act can impart valuable time management skills and improve one’s perseverance, having to navigate the stress of a job while trying to focus on school can make it difficult to focus and succeed.
This scholarship seeks to support students who are pursuing post-secondary education so they can afford to achieve their goals.
Any low-income undergraduate or graduate student who works while in school may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us why you’re pursuing your current program, how you will use what you learned to help the world, and how working while in school has affected you. Additionally, upload an image of yourself and an image of the university you attend.
List the reasons why you enrolled in your current program. How will you use the acquired knowledge to benefit society? How has working while being a college student impacted you and your studies?
