Eligibility
Applicants must be student parents and provide proof of enrollment by uploading a current course schedule.
Eligible expenses must be a one-time emergency incurred within the past 30 days and fall into one of the following categories: housing/rent, utilities, medical/dental, child care, transportation/car repairs (not gas or insurance), food/groceries, or public transportation. Tuition, fees, required course materials, books, and technology-related expenses are not covered. To qualify, students must submit appropriate documentation, such as bills, invoices, or receipts. Each student may only apply once per application cycle.
Awards
While most eligible applicants will receive some amount of aid, awards will vary in size. Due to the nature of the study, only students who sign the data-sharing agreement will be eligible for awards. This agreement allows Scholarship America to request information from your institution about your academic persistence, such as whether you remained enrolled, re-enrolled for another term, or graduated.
