In the United States, higher education is expensive. Those students who get a full-ride scholarship are generally in the top-end percentage of high achievement. But what about the student who made that same commitment to higher learning? The student who sacrificed their weekends, their time with family, but their grades didn't reflect that herculean effort they made?

 

Global Trekkers believe that everyone has the right to achieve their full potential. We have created a modest scholarship award for the 'Most Improved Graduating Senior' attending North Stokes and South Stokes High Schools in the United States. The recipient of these scholarships will commonly attend community colleges, where scholarships of $500 per student will go a long way toward their tuition (books). Eligible students are generally not recipients of other academic and athletic awards. We want to impress upon these students that their hard work has not gone unnoticed and they are important.
