MORE THAN AN AWARD
Support that follows students beyond graduation.
The Educational Scholarship Program was created to help students in UFCF’s Future Leaders United After-School Enrichment and Mentoring Program continue building their futures after high school. Awards recognize student engagement, growth, service, and commitment throughout the program, with particular emphasis on participation during the student’s senior year.
Scholarship support may assist with higher education, vocational or technical training, approved educational resources, and preparation for military service. Through initial awards and continued alumni support, UFCF helps scholars navigate the real costs of pursuing opportunity.
