Sowing Season Scholarship
Spears Financial Coaching believes each person should have the opportunity to create a life of financial peace.
When someone is free from the stressors that can arise from financial obligations, many decisions can be made to improve not only their present circumstances but also their future lives. Financial peace is an incredible privilege that can set one up for a lifetime of success, but getting there is not always easy.
This scholarship aims to support and uplift students so they can pursue their studies with as few financial stressors as possible.
Any BIPOC, low-income undergraduate student in North Carolina or South Carolina may apply for this scholarship if they have non-profit or volunteering experience. Applicants must have a profile picture to be eligible. Those from single-parent households are strongly encouraged to apply.
To apply, tell us why financial peace matters to you and how your decisions would be different if you had no financial stressors.
Why is financial peace important to you, and if you had no financial stressors, what decisions would you make differently today for your current and future life?
