The foundation is unique because it offers scholarships to single mothers, children who attend alternative schools, students who have earned only a GED, students with grade point averages of 2.0, and students who have previously been incarcerated, etc. The students, however, must demonstrate a strong desire to pursue higher education.
The program provides individual grants ranging from $1,500 to $2,500 to every student who qualifies and re-applies each year, from admission to graduation. The scholarship grant can be used to pay for tuition, books, lab fees, travel and certain costs of living.
The deadline to apply is Wednesday, April 30, 2014.

"Students with grade point averages of 2.0," ...Say what?
Why would anyone award a 2.0 grade point average? A 2.0 translated equated is...... "I dropped out of school early to avoid the June rush"... GRADE F.
Enoch - Sometimes students don't understand the power of education when in high school. Are these scholarships going to hurt anyone if it provides the incentive for some young person to try to move ahead in their life?
