Understanding that most scholarships only support the highest achieving students, the Perlman Foundation enables traditionally undeserved students to make a seamless transition into college. 

The scholarship assists students with expenses such as tuition, room and board, tutoring, travel, equipment, and other education related expenses not covered by financial aid.

While each scholarship has unique requirements, the following factors are considered for all applicants during the selection process:

 QUALIFICATIONS: 

		Have lived at a Section 8 property for at least one (1) year, or be a member of a qualified organization;
		Be a graduating senior at an accredited high school;
		Have maintained at least a 2.0 cumulative high school grade-point average on a 4.0 grade scale;
		Plan to enroll in a 2 or 4 year accredited university pursuing their first bachelor's degree
		Be a U.S. citizen or legal resident; and
		Demonstrate a financial need.
