Scholarship

The Barry Scholarship Program is a cohort experience providing a two or four year annually-renewable college scholarship of up to $5000 per year for graduating high school PaY seniors who demonstrate exceptional character, leadership, and commitment to serving their community. The program provides financial aid, professional development, and personal support throughout the journey of pursuing an education at any nonprofit college or university. Our goal is to not only ensure students succeed in college, but also to help students thrive after graduation. Other scholarship opportunities are available through our Philanthropy: Forward program.
