Scholarship America Dream Award

Scholarship America’s Dream Award is a renewable scholarship fund targeted toward completion. Awards will be given to students selected from across the nation who will be entering their second year or higher of education beyond high school, based on the fact that too often scholarships are only offered in their freshman year. The scholarships will grow in amount each year, incentivizing the student to complete their education.

Both general scholarships and STEM-specific scholarships will be distributed each year. Students may choose either application track. (STEM applies to students in a science, technology, engineering or math related major or program.)

Award: $5,000-$15,000

Deadline: Dec. 15, 2014
