About the Scholarship Program
It is the mission of Education Aid to change the lives of students around the country by providing them with the financial support that they need to complete their education. This is accomplished through the Support a Student Scholarship Program (“Program”). Participants of this Program have payments made on their behalf for non-tuition related expenses that are not covered by their current financial aid. Many economically disadvantaged students do not receive enough financial support to pay for such expenses and ultimately end up dropping out of school. This Program was created to identify these students and to provide them with the financial support necessary to enable them to complete their degrees.
