Summary
This grant program offers financial support designed to help eligible individuals pursuing higher education. It is available nationwide throughout the United States. The funding is intended for students enrolled in accredited four-year undergraduate, graduate, or professional degree programs. Eligible applicants typically must have certain ancestral heritage links and meet citizenship or permanent-resident criteria. The program emphasizes merit and academic achievement as key selection factors.
Recipients may receive awards ranging from moderate to substantial amounts, helping to offset tuition, educational expenses, and other costs associated with college or higher-level study. The funds enable students to focus on academic and professional goals without undue financial burden, providing a meaningful boost toward degree completion.
Both undergraduate and graduate/professional school students are eligible — though prior recipients may be excluded from subsequent awards. Applications commonly require a formal application process, academic transcripts, standardized-test scores (if applicable), and recommendation letters from non-family individuals familiar with the applicant’s academic or professional work.
This opportunity is designed for individuals (not nonprofits or businesses), and supports higher-education achievement rather than business ventures or community-based projects. The grant aims to advance educational excellence and help students achieve their long-term academic and career ambitions.
Because the program is national in scope, students from any U.S. state may apply — provided they meet the heritage and enrollment requirements described. The award amounts and the number of scholarships offered may vary year to year, depending on available funding.
Eligible applicants in Nevada with a demonstrated commitment to Opportunity Zone Benefits are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
