The importance of higher education is recognized by society as a means of lifting oneself from a life of poverty.  A university degree is a hallmark of achievement that many have strived for.  Unfortunately for some, the dream of higher education is a fantasy.  Access to knowledge to better oneself is hindered by their socio-economic status.  Despite their mental abilities to be successful academically, they lack the financial means. 

​

Scholarships remove the financial obstacle to higher education by awarding students’ academic performance.  They help ensure that hard-working and underprivileged students get the chance to go to university by funding part or all a student’s tuition and fees.  Without the financial burden, students can focus and excel in their studies.
