About This Opportunity

This scholarship fund was created by a donor family who believes that education is the cornerstone to a life of opportunity, security, choice, and continued growth. The aim of the Open Door Scholarship is to help open the door to driven, hardworking students who share the donor family's belief in the power of education and who seek to use that education to thrive. The scholarship supports first-generation college students who are graduating high school seniors with strong academic records. Recipients must maintain eligibility while attending a four-year college or university in the United States full-time. The scholarship provides $10,000 in total support, distributed as $2,500 per year over four years of undergraduate study.
