Description

The Balkhi Foundation Higher Education Scholarship seeks to help talented young people make college more attainable through a scholarship. These annual renewable awards are granted to exceptional high school seniors accepted to a US based college or university who demonstrate a financial need. An ideal applicant for a Balkhi Foundation Scholarship is a student who has shown dedication to their academics as well as their personal goals whether that is through community service, creation of a business or invention, or significant dedication to academic pursuits. Students should be self starters who have shown tenacity in the face of challenges and a hunger for success. Previous Balkhi Foundation Scholars have represented a diverse variety of backgrounds and high school experiences including community service, writing and publishing novels, completing university level research or associates degrees in high school, or being identified as leaders within their school and community. Applicants must provide the contact information (including email address) for two teachers that can speak to their academic achievement. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
