The Bernard Osher Foundation Reentry Scholarship Program

This scholarship program supports non-traditional, reentry undergraduate students who are returning to higher education after a significant break to complete their first bachelor's degree. Funded by the Bernard Osher Foundation, the program aims to assist students who have faced a cumulative gap of five or more years in their academic journeys. Eligible candidates must show academic promise, a strong commitment to completing their education, and demonstrated financial need. The funding is intended solely for tuition expenses at four-year institutions. It is designed for individuals who plan to participate in the workforce for a substantial period after graduation, typically targeting those in their mid-twenties to fifty. The award is not available to graduate students, individuals seeking a second degree, students enrolled solely in online classes, or international students who plan to leave the country after finishing their studies.
