Resilient Scholar Award
Students who work hard to fulfill their educational dreams despite life’s many challenges are a true inspiration.
Hardship is especially acute for students from single-parent households, who often are forced to be more independent due to their family circumstances. Children of single parents often face financial struggles due to relying on the income of just one parent, making it difficult to afford the costs of higher education.
This scholarship seeks to support students who have overcome hardships in pursuing their journey to college.
Any high school student who is from a single-parent and/or guardian household and will be attending college may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us about yourself and an accomplishment, event, or realization that gave you a new understanding of yourself or others.
Please tell us about yourself and your upbringing in a single parent and/or guardian household. Additionally, write about an accomplishment, event, or realization that led to a new understanding of yourself or others.
