We are excited to announce that Higher Achievement is launching the Last Dollar Alumni Fund Scholarship to support our alumni as they work toward college completion or finishing a trade program.

Each year, we hear from alumni facing unexpected financial obstacles that can disrupt their progress. The Last Dollar Alumni Fund provides flexible financial support—up to $1,000—to help remove these barriers.

This fund is designed to support alumni navigating urgent financial challenges that impact their ability to complete their program, whether related to education or other critical needs.

Application Deadline: August 21, 2026
