The Bailey Family Foundation
Scholarship Name: The Bailey Family Foundation Scholarship Program
Description: The Bailey Family Foundation awards a small number of partial scholarships to graduating high school seniors who will attend any of the participating universities (located mostly in the southeastern United States).

Like many scholarships from family foundations, the funds can only be used towards tuition, but $5,000 is a significant amount of scholarship money, particularly for online degrees, which tend to be less expensive. Applications go through an extensive review process, and all materials can be submitted online directly at the Bailey Family Foundation website.
