Who Can Apply:
- Scholarships are a crucial part of financial planning for many students, but it can prove difficult to win due to the high competition and limited funds available.
- It can be incredibly frustrating and discouraging to receive rejection after rejection before receiving a scholarship, especially if one has devoted significant time and effort to the applications.
- This scholarship seeks to support students who have faced multiple scholarship rejections but continue to pursue their dreams. The number of failures is evidence of your resilience. It’s time to celebrate your courage even before your success.
- Any community college student in Texas who has been rejected from many scholarships yet continues to show resilience may apply for this scholarship opportunity, but applicants from Houston are especially encouraged to apply.
Submission: Besides a scholarship, what is something you’ve really wanted but put on hold due to financial priorities? (Sohee Park, the scholarship’s founder, once longed for white sneakers in college but waited until receiving a scholarship to buy them.)
Deadline: July 5, 2025
