Jeffrey Coller: Rising Stars Scholarship

Our scholarship program provides financial assistance to students who have been able to significantly improve their grade point averages since beginning their college education. Each semester, we award a $1,000 scholarship to a student who can demonstrate that their GPA has increased by at least one point from semester to semester or year to year. By supporting students who have overcome academic and personal struggles, we aim to help them ensure that they can achieve their educational goals.

Winners of the Rising Stars Scholarship can use the award to pay tuition or address other costs related to their college education, including housing, books, or supplies.

Eligibility:

• Have been attending an undergraduate program for at least one year
• Have improved their GPA by at least one point at any time while attending college
• Are a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States
• Are at least 17 years old
• Must submit a 2-minute video on the following topic: “What steps did you take to increase your grade point average? Describe the challenges you faced and the efforts you made to improve your academic performance. What lessons did you learn during this time, and how do you expect to use the skills you have gained in your future career?”
