Education First offers college scholarships in each of the below cities. Only seniors from participating schools can apply for the awards.
How It Works
- Since 1996, Education First has awarded over $1,000,000 in scholarships.
- Scholarships from Education First are valid up to seven years after high school graduation and can be applied to tuition or books.
- We send the full scholarship directly to the college/university in the first term, allowing scholars to work with their financial aid office and determine which years (or terms) to apply the award.
- Scholars can request a different payout schedule, as it is not our intent to affect their overall financial aid package.
- If a scholar transfers, they request unused funds to be returned to Education First and funds are re-directed to their new school.
