    About this scholarship

    This program offers financial assistance to former students returning to complete their first undergraduate degree after an absence of seven or more years. Designed to reduce financial barriers for adult learners, the initiative provides institutional funding to help students finish their education. Eligible participants who have only one semester remaining receive full tuition coverage for their final term. Those who require multiple semesters to graduate receive grant assistance to cover the tuition of one course per term. Assistance is applied after federal and state grants are factored in, and it covers tuition charges only, excluding mandatory university fees. Students must file a FAFSA and engage with academic advising and student success resources during their return.

    Who can apply

    • Undergraduate
    • College 1st year or College 2nd year or College 3rd year or College 4th year
    • Shows financial need on the FAFSA or state aid application

    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.
