Deadline: October 4, 2024
The Brave of Heart Scholarship supports the children (age 26 and under), spouses or domestic partners of frontline healthcare workers who lost their lives to COVID-related causes.
Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or legal residents who plan to enrol, full-time or part-time, in undergraduate or graduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university or vocational-technical school in the upcoming academic year. Applicants must also have a GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale or its equivalent. (More eligibility information, including eligible parent/spouse/partner occupations and child requirements, can be found on the application page.)
The Brave of Heart Scholarship is not a competitive program; all eligible applicants will receive funds. Non-traditional students, students in study-abroad programs and individuals returning to college after time off are encouraged to apply, even if they do not have a recent GPA.
Award amounts range from $5,000 to $25,000 per year for undergraduates, depending on financial need, area of study and type of degree a person is seeking. (Graduate students may qualify for awards up to $50,000/year.) Applicants can receive the award for a maximum of eight terms, for four academic years, or through the 2026-27 school year, whichever occurs first.
