    About this scholarship

    This scholarship program was established through a legacy gift to support students who are pursuing higher education.

By targeting students from families that struggle with the costs of higher education, the program aims to ease the financial burden of obtaining a degree and make college accessible to more individuals. The award is distributed over multiple years of study to provide ongoing support throughout the recipient's academic journey.

    Facts on this page come from the official page and the provider's website. The description is written by CollegesRef. Providers can change amounts and dates; the official page always wins.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.

    Our methodology

    Avoid scholarship scams

    Real scholarships never charge an application fee, never guarantee you will win and never ask for bank or card details.
