The Kohlberg-Manacher Foundation provides $5,000 annual academic scholarships and active mentoring support to bright, hard-working, entrepreneurially-minded students from lower-income, less privileged families in the Greater Boston and San Diego communities. Scholarships can potentially be renewed for up to four consecutive years, for a total maximum award of $20,000 per recipient.*

Eligibility Criteria:

Applicants must have graduated high school in Greater Boston or San Diego and will be attending (or already enrolled) as a full-time student (any year) at any college, university or vocational school in the United States. Scholarship selection criteria include, yet is not limited to, the following:

• Demonstrated high levels of resiliency and maturity
• Academic record, achievements in sports and/other extra-curricular activities, and/or other unique skills or accomplishments
• Entrepreneurial tendencies, aspirations and/or experiences
• Personal/family circumstances

*Please note that scholarship renewals are not automatic. Instead, they are based on quality of participation in the mentoring program, achievements during the academic year, and commitment (as evidenced by actions) to being the best you can be.
