$1,000 Helping Families Scholarship Due 11/1

Apply by November 1st to Kamper & Estrada’s $1,000 Helping Families Scholarship.

Background:

We believe the basic idea: family is your most important asset. Even the happiest and most loving and functional families struggle. When someone steps in to help a family in trouble this can be a pivot point where the family starts to get back on their feet. Families often struggle because of financial, health, emotional and/or spiritual problems, to name a few. We want to help a young person who is committed to helping others.

Eligibility:

• Currently enrolled in an accredited community college, undergraduate or graduate program in the United States.
• Must be able to demonstrate passion towards civil justice through volunteer, professional and/or educational experiences.
• 2.75 or higher GPA

How to Apply:

• Submit an updated resume
• Submit an unofficial transcript
• Respond to the following essay question in 1,000 words or less:
Describe a situation where you have helped a family in need. This can be your own family or one that you are not related to by blood or marriage. Explain your motivation behind helping this family and the steps you took to help them- and how their lives were improved by your efforts. Describe how your education has already helped you to help others and/or how your current education plans are going to help you continue to help others. Tell us how your education is informing your volunteer, activism, work and/or career goals.
