    About this scholarship

    The Mountain Scholars program is designed to support students who are the first in their families to attend college and who demonstrate strong academic drive. The initiative helps these individuals as they work toward earning a four-year college degree or a postsecondary certificate. Rather than just offering financial aid, the program provides comprehensive assistance throughout the higher education journey, which includes personalized mentoring, career planning, and scholarship support.

    To be considered for financial assistance through the organization's partner applications, students generally need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which helps determine financial need. The scholarship funds are sent directly to the recipient's chosen institution once enrollment is confirmed. For the most up-to-date schedule regarding deadlines and application windows, applicants should see the official page for current dates.

    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.
