Scholarships for Children of Nonprofit Workers

Are there specific scholarships available for children of nonprofit workers? My mom has worked at a local nonprofit for years, and I'm hoping these types of scholarships could help with my college expenses.

Indeed, there are scholarships available for children of individuals who work in the non-profit sector. Here are a few examples:

- The "For Good Scholarship" from the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance gives awards to individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to serving the public through their studies or careers.

- The "Imagine the Impact Scholarship" specifically caters to students whose parents have worked in nonprofit organizations and have exhibited a commitment to community service.

Remember, when applying for scholarships it's important to apply to a mix of national, state, and local awards. National scholarships often provide substantial funds, but also bear in mind that they're often highly competitive. Local scholarships, on the other hand, might offer less money but they're usually less competitive, so you have a higher chance of being awarded.

Moreover, sometimes there are employer-specific scholarships. Ask your parent to check with their non-profit to see if they offer any scholarships for employees' children.

Lastly, please do reach out to your guidance counselor or visit Appily's scholarship search to find more scholarships that suit your specifics. Best of luck!
