Maximum scholarship amounts will be established annually for students attending public community colleges, public four-year and independent institutions. Scholarships are expected to average approximately $5,000 per year per student, or $20,000 for a four-year program. Scholarships will be awarded for four years of full-time undergraduate study, subject to a recipient's continued eligibility. The Achievers Scholarship is a "last dollar" award, which will not replace or reduce other federal, state, institutional, or private grants for which the student may qualify. These scholarships will help meet remaining unmet needs and will reduce or eliminate the need for students to assume loan debt.
Will mentors be available to all Achievers
Scholarship recipients?
Yes! The CSF staff will work with each student to obtain both a local
hometown mentor and a college mentor. Hometown mentors will meet and work
with students to provide support on the college selection and application
process, the financial aid process, as well as to provide other help as
needed to the student.
In addition, for the first two years of college, a college mentor will assist each student with the adjustment to college life, and assist with academic and personal issues when help is needed.
Do students need to be enrolled in college
programs of study leading to four-year college degrees?
Yes! Note though that if students first enroll in community or technical
colleges before transferring to eligible four-year colleges, they must
enroll in approved programs that will transfer with junior status to the
four-year degree programs at eligible colleges.
