Who Can Apply:
- The NAM Foundation is committed to a single goal: giving back to children of incarcerated parents.
- When your parents are incarcerated, there is often a feeling of helplessness, loneliness, despair, discouragement, and embarrassment. It is easy to worry that others will judge you for the decisions of your parents, and there are many things that you can’t do that your friends and peers are able to do. In addition to these complicated feelings, many children of incarcerated parents also struggle with their finances due to the loss of parental income.
- This scholarship aims to support deserving children of incarcerated parents so they can overcome all of the challenges they face, no matter how big or small, and be put in the best position for success in the present and future.
- Any high school student in Ohio who plans to major in STEM may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have at least one parent who is or was incarcerated.
Submission: To apply, tell us about the importance of giving back and how your parent’s incarceration has affected your academic path. Additionally, upload your favorite art piece.
Deadline: April 20, 2025
