College scholarships for bereaved siblings

I'm looking for scholarships specifically for students who have lost a sibling. This has been a difficult year for me, and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Are there any organizations that support bereaved siblings?

I'm sorry to hear about your loss and understand how challenging this time can be.

Scholarships for bereaved siblings or those who have experienced severe adversity come under hardship or adversity scholarships. These scholarships often require students to share their stories and how they have learned or grown from these experiences, in addition to financial need.

One such scholarship is the MaryEllen Locher Foundation scholarships. They are granted to high school seniors who either lost a parent to breast cancer or whose parent is a cancer survivor. This could apply to you if your lost sibling's situation was related to this condition.

Another scholarship is the Life Lessons Scholarship Program from Life Happens, which provides financial aid to students who have experienced the death of a parent or guardian.

Moreover, you could consider scholarships such as the Beatrice F. Kroesche Memorial Scholarship, available to students from Utah who have undergone personal hardship.

Local organizations and non-profits at times offer scholarships for students who have experienced loss, so you could look into resources in your hometown or state too.

Finally, keep in mind that many scholarships are not specifically for bereaved siblings, but still consider personal adversity as part of their criteria. Therefore, writing compelling essays about your experiences for these scholarships can potentially be beneficial.

I hope this helps, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions. My thoughts are with you and your family in these difficult times.
