College education is the most important investment in a student’s future. Higher education can lead to many benefits, including better work opportunities, a comfortable lifestyle and a successful career. But nowadays, it has become impossible or at least challenging for students to earn a degree due to the high cost of study. To carve this situation, Ford Family Foundation is now offering wonderful scholarship opportunities for students dealing with financial problems. Students, who are high school seniors and planning to enroll full-time in an undergraduate degree program in the fall, can qualify for these offers.
Ford Scholars Programs was established by Kenneth W. Ford, who is a founder of “The Ford Family Foundation.” The purpose of Kenneth behind founding such amazing opportunities was to assist students in obtaining a college degree at affordable rates. So far, these programs have helped many students fulfill their educational dreams by making a college education accessible to them. If you are one of those students who seek financial assistance to further their education, then send your application and take advantage of these opportunities before applications close.

It has been dedicated to offering grants to public charities and agencies benefiting communities in rural Oregon and Siskiyou. Moreover, this foundation also provides funding opportunities to improve children, families, and communities in the region.
