Support a Student Scholarship Program
Helping students overcome financial obstacles to stay in school and succeed.
Education Aid changes the lives of students by providing the financial support they need to complete their education. This scholarship helps cover non-tuition expenses that can otherwise force students to drop out, giving them a chance to focus on academics instead of financial stress.
Why This Matters
🎓 Only 41% of students at U.S. public institutions graduate within 4 years.
(Source: NCES – Graduation Rates)❌ About 75% of college dropouts never return to earn a degree.
(Source: Pew Research – Dropout Rates)💸 Nearly half of students receive no financial help from family for college costs.
(Source: Education Data Initiative)📚 Roughly 1 in 3 students report textbook/fees as a significant burden.
(Source: Student Monitor)🕒 More than half of students who leave college cite “needing to work” as a top reason.
