Scholarship Tigers–Students Helping Each Other Find Money for College

For students pursuing their first undergraduate degree.

The Shawn Carter Foundation offers scholarships to help “candidates from all backgrounds and each has a compelling desire to pursue higher education, in spite of many personal, socio-economic setbacks, including teen pregnancy, former incarceration, interrupted schooling, poverty, and homelessness.

They are hardworking, resilient and determined individuals who want to make positive contributions to their local and global communities, and they turn to SCF to help make their ambitions and dreams possible.”
