Catalog of scholarships to create a world where every student graduates, confident and prepared
Everyone feels excited to move ahead into the great big world and do something unforgettable. However, the road to graduation is adventurous and stressful at the same time. For instance, in America, the graduation rate is becoming crippling for first-generation College students because of high loan-debts. An online cost-friendly learning platform like Course Hero helps students to achieve confidence and become educated and prepared.
Just last week of August, The College Board (a not-for-profit organization) announced its revamping process for helping schools assess college merit and readiness in an effort to engender greater diversity of opportunity. As a core value, the same support Course Hero is providing closely with educators for equity of opportunity. That’s why, this year, the platform has amplified its robust catalog of scholarships with two new programs: those from military families and first-generation college students.
Veteran Hero Scholarship (Military Families)
The Veteran Hero Scholarship is designed not only to directly help recipients but also to broaden the country’s general awareness of life in the military. To measure the thinking approach on nationality single essay question has been asked: “What do you wish the American people better understood about military service or military families?” Upon completion of the scholarship selection cycle, Course Hero will publish a compendium of responses.
Veteran Hero scholarship submission is estimated to take less than 30 minutes to complete. Eligibility requirements are:
- Have a minimum of 3.0 GPA
- Be 16 years or older
- Be a permanent legal U.S. resident
- Be enrolled in a school listed on the U.S. Department of Education website
- Be a retired, honorably discharged, or active duty service member of the United States military or have a family member of such service
