EducationDynamics Continues Commitment to Reaching Equity in Education with Fourth Annual Minority First-Generation Scholarship Contest
16 Julio 2024 - 1:48PM
EducationDynamics, the nation’s leading experts in marketing and
enrollment management services for higher education institutions,
is proud to announce the return of its Minority First
Generation Scholarship Contest. Now in its fourth year, the $10,000
scholarship offers significant financial support to minority
students and reflects the organization's ongoing commitment to
addressing the unique challenges faced by underserved populations
in higher education. Submissions will be accepted through August
30, 2024.
The scholarship was inspired by findings from the ‘Survey of the
Underserved Students Landscape,’ a comprehensive study on the
enrollment patterns and challenges of post-traditional students.
This demographic, which constitutes approximately 70% of the
nation’s undergraduate body, includes a significant portion of
minority and first-generation students who face distinct
educational hurdles due to income limitations and other
socio-economic factors.
In response, EducationDynamics' CEO Bruce Douglas launched the
scholarship to support the academic and professional aspirations of
this often-marginalized population. Now in its fourth year, the
scholarship aims to alleviate financial barriers for students
dedicated to enhancing their skills and achieving economic mobility
through education.
"As we enter the fourth year of our Minority First Generation
Scholarship, our commitment to fostering equity in education
remains unwavering,” says EducationDynamics' CEO, Bruce Douglas.
“We firmly believe in creating opportunities where every student
can pursue their academic dreams free from crippling debt. This
scholarship is more than just financial assistance; it’s a stepping
stone towards empowering students to unlock their full potential
and achieve their career aspirations."
Applicants must be minority students who are the first in their
families to pursue higher education, are 17 years of age or older,
and are enrolled or planning to enroll in an accredited
post-secondary institution for an associate’s degree, bachelor’s
degree, or certificate program. Applicants must submit an essay
detailing a unique challenge they face as a current or prospective
college student.
Submissions must be received by Friday, August 30 at midnight.
The recipient will be announced on or around Friday, November 15,
and the scholarship will be directly applied to the tuition costs
at the accredited institution they attend.
