## About this scholarship

Alverno College offers the Thea Bowman Scholarship to support incoming first-year students. To qualify for this opportunity, applicants must be eligible for the federal Pell Grant, which requires completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine financial need. Candidates must also demonstrate a strong commitment to community engagement and equity. 

This program is renewable for up to four years of study. Recipients receive a full-tuition scholarship and participate in the college's specialized leadership institute, where they can earn a credential in community engagement and activism. Because this is a competitive award, students must submit a separate application. The application cycle opens November 1, and the deadline to apply for the upcoming academic year is May 1. This funding is designed to cover tuition costs and does not apply toward campus room and board expenses.

## Who can apply

- Education level: High school student
- Year: 12th grade
- College types: 4-year college, Private college
- Must be a first-year, Pell Grant-eligible student committed to community engagement and equity.

## How to apply

Complete the application form online starting in November, with final submissions due in the spring.
