A Scholar. A mentor. A debt-free degree.

We calculate exactly what's left after every other source of aid and fund it — from enrollment to graduation — so no Scholar carries debt because of a parent's sacrifice. Then we pair every Scholar with a dedicated mentor until the diploma is in their hands.

Clemson University · Class of 2021

The NGS scholarship is more than just a scholarship to me. The program itself keeps patriotism alive and that's very important to me considering how much my mother has sacrificed through mind, body and spirit. I want to thank all of the donors who made my scholarship possible!
