Get in touch to create your own scholarship

When someone holds a special place in your heart, makes a big impact in your life or changes the community for good, it’s fitting to honor their contributions. This is especially true for those who seek to commemorate individuals through a memorial scholarship fund. Education is the gift that lasts a lifetime, and a memorial scholarship program provides a meaningful way for a family, foundation or company to honor that special person while carrying his or her legacy forward to future generations of students.

Memorial scholarship programs can be created for multiple reasons: a loved one may pass away, and a family wishes to establish a program immediately; or a company may choose to implement a program in honor of a colleague. Scholarship America recognizes the sensitive and important nature of making a memorial scholarship program as meaningful as the namesake attached to it.

Once you have determined how to fund the scholarship program, Scholarship America would be honored to help administer it to commemorate the important person in your life.
