We understand that the cost of college can be overwhelming, and that every student can benefit from the
encouragement and financial support a scholarship provides. Our goal is to uplift students who may have felt that college

the year 2026. We are looking for applicants who demonstrate determination, resilience, and a strong commitment to
their future, even in the face of challenges. As part of the application process, students will be asked to complete an

to them.
