This scholarship is designed to identify and reward outstanding high school seniors who have demonstrated an ability to excel in the fields of academics, extra-curricular school activities and community involvement. It is available to any senior male graduating from high school and enrolling in a four-year undergraduate college program in the fall of 2025.
Did you know?
Men are going to college with less frequency than in the past, and not persisting to graduation at the same rates as women. Per The Wall Street Journal, at the close of the 2020-21 academic year, women made up 59.5% of college students, an all-time high, and men 40.5%, according to enrollment data from the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), a nonprofit research group. There are now 2.4 million fewer male undergraduates on U.S. campusesthan there are females (6.5 million men compared to 8.9 million women).
Men are choosing paths other than college.
In an attempt to counter this trend and encourage young men to pursue a postsecondary education, the Men’s College Scholarship Program was launched in 2022with college-bound males also being awarded funds in 2023 and 2024. In 2025 we are thrilled to once again offer multiple $500-$1,000 scholarships, totaling upwards of $50,000, to inspire college attendance and academic success by young men. Scholarships are delivered directly to recipients —not their institution— via ACH transfer to use as desired on college-related expenses.
