PEAK Scholarship

Name: PEAK Scholarship

Award Amount: Up to $5,000

Information And Eligibility:
The PEAK Scholarship, offered through Get Schooled, is a national award designed to support high school seniors who demonstrate academic promise, leadership potential, community engagement, and a clear desire to pursue higher education. The scholarship emphasizes holistic student success by recognizing applicants who have excelled in the classroom, shown initiative in extracurricular involvement, and articulated meaningful future goals. Get Schooled is a nonprofit organization focused on helping students navigate the path to college, career, and independent achievement, and the PEAK Scholarship aligns with this mission by providing financial support that can make the transition to post-secondary education more accessible.

Award recipients may receive up to $5,000, which can be used toward tuition, fees, books, supplies, or other essential costs associated with attending an accredited college, university, or career pathway after high school. The PEAK Scholarship is open to students nationwide, and selection is based on a comprehensive review of academic performance, personal essays, financial need considerations, and factors that demonstrate leadership and resilience. The award encourages students to think critically about their educational journey and to present a genuine narrative about their experiences and goals.

Applicants are typically high school seniors who balance academic responsibilities with involvement in school activities, volunteer work, employment, or other commitments that showcase their capacity to manage multiple obligations while maintaining a focus on long-term success. The scholarship is designed to recognize students who may not fit the narrow definitions of traditional merit scholarships but who nonetheless demonstrate the motivation, creativity, and direction that suggest future achievement. Part of the application includes personal essays and responses that allow students to communicate their values, motivations, and the potential impact of receiving the scholarship.

The PEAK Scholarship application process encourages thoughtful reflection and goal setting, challenging students to articulate not only where they have been but where they are headed. In doing so, it serves as both a scholarship opportunity and an educational exercise that prepares applicants for future academic and professional writing and reflection.
