Applications

Stars Scholarship Fund has awarded scholarships for 21 years. Our application numbers reflect the needs of students in our community. Stars seek to ensure that students who have the will to attend college have a way to do so. With that said, the number of scholarships we can award is directly related to the support of our sponsors and the amount of funds raised annually at Extravaganzas and through community partners. For the 2023-2024 academic year Stars Scholarship Fund decided to increase scholarship amounts and 13 of our 21 partner institutions, Stars awarded 567 recipients. Our recipients now only represent 13% of our applicants and 44% of our eligible applicants. Stars Scholarship Fund has awarded 19,057 recipients since its inception, leaving 28,258 eligible applicants unfunded. The data above shows that although our efforts have been consistent annually, they simply are not enough to cover the needs of our community.
