Who Can Apply:
- For first-generation students, a degree can build a foundation that can take the whole family to financial security.
- Unfortunately, it’s often difficult for first-generation students to access higher education, especially for those who come from low-income or single-parent households. With little-to-no financial support and a lack of help navigating the college application process, low-income students face significant barriers when pursuing college degrees. This scholarship honors Clarice Kanouse, a low-income single parent who used her degree to provide financial security to her family while demonstrating perseverance, resiliency, and determination.
- In her spirit, this scholarship aims to support low-income students from challenging backgrounds who are pursuing their dreams of higher education.
- Any low-income high school or undergraduate student pursuing nursing in Michigan may apply for this scholarship, but first-generation students, those from single-parent households, and non-traditional students are preferred.
Submission: To apply, tell us about your background, what challenges you’ve overcome to pursue nursing, what your goals are, and how this scholarship would help you achieve them.
