Who Can Apply:
- College is full of challenges, academically as well as socially and mentally.

- This scholarship aims to support students who have overcome challenges in order to pursue higher education.
- Any BIPOC high school senior or undergraduate student who is first-generation, has at least a 3.5 GPA, is involved in community or extracurricular activities, and is directly or indirectly impacted by a mental or physical disability (themselves or a family member) may apply for this scholarship, but students from single-parent households are preferred.
