As we approach the end of the school year for students all across America, many of us will be celebrating with a graduate this spring. For a high school graduate, the next several years will be quite an adjustment in many ways. Being able to afford higher education is getting more challenging each year. The cost has made the opportunity sometimes unobtainable for many. Scholarships can always help.
One organization that has been assisting with college funding is Scholarship America. Founded in 1958 by an optometrist, this organization is the nation’s largest nonprofit private scholarship organization.
Its mission is to “eliminate barriers to educational success so that any student can pursue their dream.” Scholarship America has distributed $5.1 billion to 3 million students at this time.
Scholarship America believes that a student should never give up on a dream of further education because of societal barriers.
Students may apply for any scholarships that they qualify for on the Scholarship America website. Share this information with any high school graduate that you know. Scholarship money can make a huge difference for any student.
