2024 – 2025 Fresh Start Scholarship
The Fresh Start Scholarship Foundation, Inc. is pleased to announce the continuation of the Fresh Start Scholarship. Our scholarship is specifically designed for women who have interrupted their education for various reasons and now seek to return to school to better their status and their opportunities. We award annual scholarships based on need and offer mentoring support. Candidates must be enrolled in a two or four-year degree program at an accredited Delaware college or university. Since its inception in 1996, the foundation has awarded over $1.5 million in scholarships to more than 300 women who have been given the opportunity to achieve their goals. Each of these recipients is unique – her goals, her skills, her dreams.
The Fresh Start Scholarship Foundation has over $100,000 in funds available to award scholarships to deserving women in financial need for academic year 2024-2025. There are scholarship funds available to students in ALL majors. We ask that candidates be recommended by a social service/government agency, a college/university, or an employer. The Fresh Start Scholarship Foundation, Inc. Board of Directors, based upon the applications received, will make all decisions regarding the recipients and the amounts of the awards.
The application and an informational video are now available online at www.freshstartscholarship.org/
Please contact candidates you might wish to recommend and/or share the attached fact sheet to solicit candidates as soon as possible. Applications for the 2024-2025 academic year must be submitted by May 15, 2024.
Award Notification: All applicants will be notified on or before July 31, 2024.
We hope that through this scholarship we will be able to make a difference and contribute in a meaningful way to an improvement in lifestyle for deserving women. Thank you for your assistance in sharing the application information with qualified candidates.
