Felicia Brewer Opportunity Scholarship

The Felicia Brewer Opportunity Scholarship creates a life-transforming opportunity for immigrant or first generation students who have overcome significant adversity, giving them the opportunity to pursue their dreams and improve their lives through education or training. The scholarship is awarded to students who have attended a Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools or Chatham County Schools district high school. The Fund has been created in memory of Felice (Felicia) Berkman Brewer by her father-in-law, Donald Brewer. The scholarship provides up to $80,000 towards any need listed under the school's total cost of attendance. Payments are made annually for up to 4 years, and students must maintain good academic standing and submit semester reports in order to continue receiving funding. This scholarship is restricted to immigrants, refugees, or first-generation US citizens pursuing 2- or 4-year undergraduate degrees at accredited institutions.
