Scholarships

For many of our students, pursuing higher education or building financial stability may seem out of reach due to financial constraints. However, there are several scholarships and financial aid opportunities available to support individuals in these situations. On this page, we’ve compiled a list of scholarships specifically designed for underrepresented groups and low-income students. We encourage students to apply for as many scholarships as they qualify for, but we understand that this can be overwhelming, especially when combined with the college application process. That’s why we also invite students to contact us for assistance with specific scholarship questions or general financial aid and college counseling at counseling@financedmiami.org
