The Perseverance Scholarship-Help Students in Need

Opening Doors to Higher Education and a Brighter Future

For many students in Westminster Public Schools, attending college is a cherished dream—one that could change not only their lives but also the lives of their families. Yet, the financial barriers to higher education can be overwhelming, especially for first-generation college students who are blazing a trail in their families. The Scholarship Fund is here to help turn these dreams into reality by providing the essential funding students need to pursue a college education. Each scholarship offers more than just financial assistance; it’s a bridge to a future filled with opportunity, growth, and the chance to make a meaningful impact. Thanks to the generosity of donors, students receive funding for tuition and the support of an advisor who helps guide them through challenges of college life. These scholarships represent a life-changing opportunity to break the cycle of poverty, gain skills for high-paying careers, and bring that success back to their communities.
