INNOVATING A NEW SCHOLARSHIP TYPE

The Resiliency Rising Scholarship is awarded to students who forge their own path—not by simply repeating what they’ve been taught, but by thinking critically, questioning norms, and making decisions grounded in lived experience. These are individuals who rise above adversity with courage and clarity, using life’s toughest moments as fuel for growth rather than setbacks.
This scholarship celebrates students who don’t just memorize facts, but apply knowledge with intention. Whether navigating personal challenges, confronting social expectations, or challenging outdated systems, Resiliency Rising Scholars demonstrate strength, self-awareness, and the ability to lead with both heart and intellect.
It is designed for those who understand that true education comes not only from books, but from real-world experience, reflection, and the unwavering will to rise—and rise again.
