Ethan To Scholarship
Mental health challenges affect countless people every year and can make it difficult to achieve their goals.
When struggling with one’s mental health, pursuing higher education can feel impossible. Schoolwork can be difficult to focus on for students who are struggling just to survive. In order for students to reach their full potential, it’s crucial that those suffering have the support and encouragement they need to seek help.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Ethan To by raising awareness of mental health struggles and supporting students as they pursue their goals.
Any low-income undergraduate with at least a 3.5 GPA or graduate with a least a 3.2 GPA who is studying psychology and/or counseling may apply for this scholarship, and first-generation college students are strongly encouraged to apply.
