Award Amount: Varies (multiple awards available)

Information And Eligibility:
The FFSH Scholarship Program is offered by the Foundation for Financial Service History (FFSH) to support students pursuing higher education and careers in financial services, business, economics, accounting, finance, and related fields. This scholarship is designed to help motivated students reduce financial barriers to college and foster the next generation of leaders, professionals, and innovators in finance-related sectors. Awards recognize academic achievement, leadership, community involvement, career focus, and the potential for long-term contribution to the financial services industry.

Recipients are selected based on a holistic review of their academic record, personal essays, extracurricular activities, volunteer service, and alignment of career goals with the mission of the foundation. Students who demonstrate strong analytical skills, a commitment to ethical practice, and a clear plan for using their education in finance, business, or closely related fields are competitive applicants. The program encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds, including first-generation college students or those who show resilience, initiative, and real-world engagement.

Award funds from the FFSH Scholarship Program may be applied to essential education costs such as tuition, required fees, books, supplies, technology related to coursework, or other qualified expenses that support the recipient’s academic success.
