The Caring.com Scholarship At Caring.com, we understand the demanding lifestyle of student-caregivers and the challenges they may face. The Student-Caregiver Scholarship provides financial assistance to students who are caring for an adult relative while enrolled in college.
Two scholarships of $1,500 are awarded each year to student-caregivers to help cover costs of tuition and books. Applicants must be full-time college students at an accredited two-or-four-year college or university in the United States, or full-time high school students who are registered to attend a qualifying institution the following semester.
How to Apply Interested students can submit either a 1,500-word essay or a two-minute video addressing the following questions:
Who are you caring for and how are you involved as their caregiver? How has your role as a caregiver influenced the decision for your major/career path? How would this scholarship be helpful to you in your current student-caregiving role? In addition to the essay or video, must also complete the online application form at https://www.caring.com/caregivers/scholarships-for-student-caregivers
Application Deadline is June 30, 2019 with the winners being announced August 5, 2019.
