OPEN APPLICATIONS - NO DEADLINE
Financial Literacy Scholarships are need-based scholarships that awards students $2,500 in scholarship dollars in exchange for completing Financial Literacy Training. This scholarship was created on the premise that:
- Families living at or below the national poverty level have increased need for understanding the basics of financial literacy
- Earning a college degree is made more difficult by a lack of understanding about the college funding process.
- Even a small scholarship applied to a student’s balance can make a difference.
- Students who have financial literacy training are better equipped to strategically approach funding for college and to reimagine their lives beyond college.
