Scholarships will be awarded in April via a competitive process to students who have experienced homelessness in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, for use at any institution of higher education. We believe these scholarship opportunities will allow our students to continue their education and have the power to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty.
