Now, more than ever, students need your help.

Since 2002, the price of a college education has gone up 35%, while the amount of financial aid available has decreased -- and in the current economic crunch, it's only going to get more difficult.

Financial assistance for college can make the difference for
thousands of students; your support can help those who turn to Scholarship America to pursue their educational dreams. We'd like you to meet a few of them below; to learn about more students, sign up for The Scholar Online e-newsletter, or check out the archived issues.

Molly nearly had to leave school and defer her dream of a nursing career when the rising price of gasoline threatened her husband's trucking company.

Erin's father, one of the first responders to the cleanup efforts after 9/11, was forced into retirement after contracting a lung disease from prolonged exposure to the rubble; thanks to our Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund, she was able to attend college.

And Linda was able to pursue her educational goals despite the struggle her family would have faced to pay for them without Scholarship America.

Every day, students are faced with greater financial hurdles, which is why Scholarship America can’t take a break in uncertain times. Students need support now more than ever. And for that, we depend on people like you who care deeply about the importance of higher education. Please give today, and help us continue to turn students' dreams into reality.
