Too often, student scholarship support dries up after freshman year. Scholarship America's Dream Award is a renewable scholarship fund for students in their sophomore year and beyond - with growing, renewable awards that help ensure talented students can afford to complete the degree programs they've started.
In the last five years, Scholarship America has awarded over $1 million in Dream Awards to 54 students, with scholarships ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 based on the individual student's financial need.
To apply for the Dream Award, you must:
- Be at least 17 years of age.
