AmericanScholarship - Update on Scholarships in America

Are you the first in your family to pursue a college education? That gives you a powerful advantage.

You know what it is to make your own success in the world. You dream big and keep your eye on the prize. The McKelvey Foundation celebrates that drive and determination by awarding 125 scholarships to high school seniors who’d be the first in their families to attend college. Dedicated and involved students whose resources may be limited, but whose ambitions are not.

The Foundation will award $12,000 scholarships for qualifying high school seniors to attend ANY four-year college in their home state.

Andy McKelvey knows what it is to dream big - to have the vision, creativity and drive to convert a new idea into a thriving business. He also knows what it takes to make those dreams a reality.

That’s why the McKelvey Foundation is honored to award $40,000 scholarships to young entrepreneurs nationwide who have started their own businesses.

Each scholar will be awarded up to $10,000 per year to attend any four-year college within the United States. Applicants will be required to meet scholarship criteria (below). Winners of the Entrepreneurial Scholarships will enjoy being part of a larger entrepreneurial networking community and will be given the opportunity to meet with other scholars during our summer e-Venture program.
