 The Kaplan Educational Foundation has paved the way for
accessible education since 2006, enabling students from low-
income backgrounds pursue two- and four-year college degrees.
Each year, the foundation awards approximately seven multi-year
scholarships to African American, Latino, and NativeAmerican
students of exceptional academic merit in the NewYork City area.
In addition to $3,000 for each year a student is enrolled in an
associate’s degree program, Kaplan scholars have access to a
variety of personalized academic services, such as supplemental
tutoring, admissions guidance, transfer counseling, and summer
study programs. For students who go on to pursue a bachelor’s
degree, additional funding is available to cover the costs of
educational materials and living expenses.
