While continuing your education takes time, and money, there's a certain value that everyone is hoping to achieve. The Education Matters Scholarship is giving you the chance to state why education matters. This award is for U.S. students. Applicants must be a legal U.S. resident and must reside in the 50 United States or the District of Columbia. Applicants must be currently enrolled or enroll in an accredited post-secondary institution of higher learning (college, university or trade school). Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
