Founded by India Prather, a nationally recognized scholarship strategist, The Art of Scholarships (TAS) has helped students secure millions in educational funding.

India’s journey began in a low-income, single-parent household, where the cost of college felt out of reach. Determined to change her future, India, with the help of her mother, set out on a journey to apply to as many scholarships as possible. Overtime, after years of success, India's personal mission to fund her education inspired her to launch TAS and help other families. TAS is committed to guiding students and educators through the complex and competitive scholarship process.

This scholarship is designed to support motivated students pursuing higher education by helping to ease the financial burden of tuition and related expenses. 

Any low-income and/or first-generation high school student in New York may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
