Horatio Alger National Scholarship

The Horatio Alger National Scholarship supports high school students who have faced and overcome significant personal or financial challenges and are committed to pursuing a bachelor’s degree. Each year, the program selects a group of national scholars from across the United States to receive substantial scholarship funding (currently advertised as up to $25,000 per recipient). The award is designed for students who demonstrate resilience, integrity, and a strong work ethic, as well as financial need and a clear plan to attend college after graduation.

This program is well suited for juniors in high school who have encountered obstacles such as family hardship, economic instability, or other serious adversity, but have still maintained a solid academic record and community or school involvement. In addition to financial assistance, being named a Horatio Alger National Scholar can strengthen college applications by highlighting a student’s perseverance and recognition at the national level. Interested students should review eligibility criteria, application requirements, and deadlines on the official website: https://scholars.horatioalger.org/.
