Caring.com Scholarship

At Caring.com, we understand the demanding lifestyle of student-caregivers and the challenges they may face. The Student-Caregiver Scholarship provides financial assistance to students who are caring for an adult relative while enrolled in college.

Two scholarships of $1,500 are awarded each year to student-caregivers to help cover costs of tuition and books. Applicants must be full-time college students at an accredited two-or-four-year college or university in the United States, or full-time high school students who are registered to attend a qualifying institution the following semester.

How to Apply
Interested students can submit either a 1,500-word essay or a two-minute video addressing the following questions:

Who are you caring for and how are you involved as their caregiver?
How has your role as a caregiver influenced the decision for your major/career path?
How would this scholarship be helpful to you in your current student-caregiving role?

Deadline: June 30, 2019
