Education Matters Scholarship
Everyone deserves the chance to obtain a high-quality education, but unfortunately for many students, money is a limiting factor.
Even though financial aid is awarded to 86% of first-year, full-time students, many students still have to go out of pocket or apply for loans to pay for their education, which can make their financial troubles increase drastically.
As a small solution to the $1.8 trillion dollar student debt crisis, the Education Matters Scholarship is open to all motivated and driven undergraduate students in any field of study.
To apply, please tell us about a time you overcame adversity and what that experience taught you about yourself? Please also let us know about your educational and career goals.

Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution or future academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
