About This Scholarship

The Horatio Alger Targeted Scholarships are a group of scholarship programs offered by the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, a nonprofit organization that provides support and assistance to young people who have demonstrated perseverance in overcoming adversity to pursue their education and career goals.

These targeted scholarships are designed to support students who are pursuing education and career goals in specific fields or regions. Some of the targeted scholarship programs include the Career and Technical Scholarship Program, which supports students pursuing a technical or vocational education, the State Scholarship Program, which supports students in specific states, and the Military Veterans Scholarship Program, which supports veterans pursuing a college education.

Each targeted scholarship program has its own eligibility criteria and application requirements, but in general, applicants must be United States citizens who have faced and overcome significant challenges in their lives, demonstrated financial need, and show a strong commitment to their education and community service.
