Who Can Apply:
- As man-made and natural disasters become more common, many families are dealing with displacement and other adverse effects.
- Lead poisoning in Picker, Oklahoma, is just one example of a disaster leading to deaths and severe health problems. As families struggle to endure the difficult circumstances brought about by disasters and crises, education isn’t at the forefront of their minds. College is already a great expense that causes financial strain for many families, but the costs brought about by displacement, home repairs, or treatment make college even less accessible.
- This scholarship seeks to support students who have been affected by disasters so they have all of the resources they need to succeed despite the formidable challenges they face.
- Any high school or undergraduate student in Missouri, Kansas, or Oklahoma who has been the victim of a man-made or natural disaster, such as lead poisoning, a tornado, or another weather phenomenon, may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
Submission: To apply, tell us how the disasters in your town have affected your family and how you have worked to overcome these obstacles.
