Who Can Apply:
- America has long been shaped by people who came from somewhere else and chose to build a future here. The Frontier Scholarship seeks to support students from immigrant families who are ready to pursue their ambitions and make an impact.
- This scholarship is open to high school seniors and undergraduate students who are immigrants with qualifying legal status in the U.S.—including naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees—or U.S.-born citizens with at least one foreign-born parent.
- The donor believes that people who begin on new ground can bring valuable perspective, determination, and leadership to their communities. This scholarship is intended to help one student continue their education and pursue what they hope to build in the future.
- Applicants should write about what matters most to them. They may discuss how their family came to America, experiences they have navigated, what they are proud of, or what they hope to accomplish.
- Undergraduate students and high school seniors who meet the immigration or family-background requirements are encouraged to apply and share their story.
Submission: Please write about what matters most to you. Perhaps you want to tell us about: how your family came to be in America, what you’ve had to navigate, what you’re proud of, or what you want to build with your future.
