Apply NOW to Win Our $1,500 Scholarship

Application Deadline: June 15th, 2017

Are you a college student or future college student caring for an aging loved one? While caregiving can be very rewarding, at Sagepoint Senior Living Services we understand that caregiving can also at times be challenging. This is especially true for individuals trying to balance caregiving with the demands of school and a career. For this reason, we are excited to announce the Sagepoint Scholar Award. This $1,500 scholarship will be awarded to a selected college student (or incoming freshman) that is currently caring for, or has recently cared for in the past year, an aging loved one. Any existing student (or incoming freshman) that is in good academic standing at a 2 or 4 year accredited college can apply for this scholarship. The applicant must communicate the following in their submission:

• Who do you care for? What is your involvement as their caregiver?
• Has your role as a caregiver influenced your desired major/career path? If so, how?
• How would this scholarship be helpful to you as a student-caregiver?

The selected Sagepoint Scholar will receive $1,500 to be applied towards tuition, books, board and other expenses.
