Beyond the Boroughs Scholarship

At Beyond the Boroughs, they believe that a higher education should not be reserved for a select few, but for all students who have the desire to attend. That’s why they are offering Beyond the Boroughs Scholarship for current high school seniors entering college. Their aim is to create deserved college scholarship opportunities for students, with a primary focus on first generation collegians. Beyond the Boroughs awards four-year scholarships, each worth up to $20,000 to both male and female students of any race from any state.
