Scholarship

Investing In Futures: Scholarship Opportunities

Our scholarship application window has moved to February 1 – March 31st, with award announcements taking place in April each year. This timing allows students to receive their funds in advance of the Fall Semester, supporting them during a critical period of financial planning. It also aligns with when students typically select their Fall courses in the Spring.

While our scholarships are modest in size, they are designed to assist with a wide variety of educational expenses. These may include:

  • Tuition for Summer or Fall semesters
  • Reimbursement for textbooks and course materials
  • A new laptop or necessary technology
  • Rent to support stable housing during school
  • Participation in study abroad or special academic programs

We appreciate your understanding as we evolve this program to better serve our members. We look forward to resuming the application process in 2026 and continuing to support our student members on their educational journeys.
