High school seniors and college undergraduates have the chance to apply for $1,000 scholarships, making their educational dreams within reach. Whether you're planning to attend a technical college or a two-year or four-year university, this could be your ticket to success.
To be eligible for these prestigious scholarships, applicants must fulfill certain criteria. They should be full-time, incoming or continuing students at an accredited educational institution. Applicants must have a connection to the DHIA family.
