Beginning your freshman year of college can be tremendously exciting, but it can also be incredibly nerve-wracking. You may be worried about rigorous courses, making new friends, or living somewhere new.
However, finances can be one of the most significant stressors when starting college. At Fox & Moghul, we have established the Freshman Trailblazer Scholarship to help students beginning their college careers get off to a great start.
Every student starting college should be given a fair chance to succeed, so our scholarship is open to students from households with an income of $75,000 or less. We seek to recognize young collegiate students' hard work and dedication as they embark on their college journey. Each semester, we award a $1,000 scholarship to one college freshman.
