Scholarships are Free Money

A scholarship is FREE money (money you will not have to pay back after graduation). It’s not a student loan; scholarships are a gift that does not have to be repaid. As the cost of college continues to rise, applying for scholarships should be a priority for all college-bound students and current college students.

Scholarship money can be used to pay for tuition and fees, but also room and board and the hidden (sometimes forgotten cost) of pricey university textbooks.

We Make Their Last Mile Their Launchpad

Since 2020, Last Mile has supported over 14,000 aspiring technologists with timely, flexible awards averaging under $3,000 per student.

And for many, that modest investment changed everything. Thirty percent of students say Last Mile was either the decisive factor or a significant force in degree completion. Today, we confirm an 80% graduation rate—nearly three times the national average for similarly resourced peers.

But the story doesn’t end at commencement. Graduates move into high-demand STEM careers—designing, building, securing, and powering the technologies that shape our economy. Independent analysis shows every dollar invested in Last Mile generates an extraordinary 45× return in social and economic value over ten years.

This is what happens when the right support meets the right moment.
