RISE

Financial Literacy Scholarship is a scholarship award program for students living at or below the national poverty level. 

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.

OTHELLO ADJEPONG
Senior, Howard University

I’m incredibly grateful to be a recipient of the RISE Scholarship and a participant in the CORE RISE Program. This opportunity has not only supported me financially, but has also helped me stay grounded in my dream of becoming a dentist. This summer, I’m proud to be interning at the University of Michigan, the top dental school in America — a step that brings me even closer to my goals. Through mentorship, resources, and a powerful network of like-minded scholars, CORE RISE has empowered me to pursue my purpose and continue making an impact both on and off campus.
