Wellroot accepts applications for the Wellroot Family Services Scholarship Program starting in November. To apply, visit Scholarship America in early November. Wellroot’s scholarship program supports youth who have experienced foster care, homelessness, and other significant challenges, and it recognizes students for their community service, academic performance, and demonstrated leadership in school. Awards ranging from $1,000 to $3,500 will be granted for the next academic year.
Wellroot Family Services Scholarship Program
To apply, students must plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate or graduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school in the United States for the entire academic year.

In addition to the above criteria, some of the funds within this program give preference to those who are, or have been, associated with or received assistance services from the Wellroot Family Services (formerly UMCH).
