Lynn Parks Softball Association Scholarship

/in , /by

FOR SENIORS

Francesca Galeazzi was a record-breaking 3-sport athlete during her time at Lynn Classical and at Salve Regina University, where she continued to break records in both soccer and softball. She was not only incredible on any field or court that she played on, she was also an amazing person outside of her athletic career. She was extremely passionate about devoting her time to helping people, especially children who needed it most, through social work and mission programs. Franki and her giving spirit helped people overcome challenges, and had a positive impact on everyone that had the pleasure of meeting her. With that being said, identify a time you were faced with a challenge. Describe the actions/ steps you took in order to overcome it. Thinking back on your journey to overcome that identified obstacle, how did it affect your ability to help others?

  • If a student has an eligibility figure below $7,000 and/or a SAI above $13,000, but believe they have special circumstances (such as a recent job loss or significant change to the family financial or living situation), they may be able to request that the financial aid office(s) reconsider the amount of their SAI. Using their professional judgment, the financial aid office(s) may be able to reduce the SAI. The Phillips Scholarship cannot adjust a SAI due to financial changes but can honor a change made by a financial aid office.
  • We continue to accept applications from students who are non-citizens with a current lawful presence (DACA, TPS, SIJ, Asylum seeker). These students have employment authorization but are not eligible for federal student aid.

Fidelity Scholars Program

/in , /by

FOR SENIORS

The Scholarship

Bachelor’s degree recipients may be funded for up-to four years of study.

As a need-based scholarship, the amount of financial support provided will depend on the cost of attendance determined by the in-state college or university in which you are enrolling. This is a last-dollar approach. That means your scholarship funds will only be applied after your family contribution and all other financial aid sources have been granted, greatly reducing the need for you to take out loans and incur educational debt related to the cost of attendance.

Last year, the Fidelity Scholars Program awarded more than $2.85 million scholarships to 200 students.

Eligibility

The program is open to historically under-resourced and underrepresented students who are permanent residents of Colorado, the District of Columbia, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas.
• 2.5 – 3.5 unweighted GPA or GED
• Pell eligible and/or demonstrate financial need
• Attend an in-state college or university
