Who Can Apply:
- The Marcia Bick Scholarship was established to help disadvantaged or financially challenged high school students afford college or trade school.
- Today’s students often face significant hurdles as they prepare to leave high school and pursue their academic goals. Financial hardship, limited family or community support, and uncertainty about how to navigate the path to college or a career can create overwhelming anxiety. These challenges can make even the most motivated students feel unsure about their future—despite their talent, drive, and potential.
- Any high school senior who is motivated to pursue college or trade school and has financial need may apply for this scholarship opportunity, but students who excel in mathematics or quantitative sciences and those from the New York tri-state area are especially encouraged to apply.
Submission: To apply, tell us why students from underserved backgrounds deserve opportunities, how you have worked to overcome obstacles, and how this scholarship would help you achieve your goals.
