•THE 2027 SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION IS NOW OPEN •
At the heart of our work is the belief that every HoPe student has the power to create a meaningful and lasting legacy—within their HoPe Chapter, their school, and their broader community. The HoPe Legacy Scholarship celebrates our students’ dedication, dreams, and accomplishments while investing in the lifelong impact they have yet to make.
This scholarship is made possible by generous community partners who believe in the potential of HoPe students and the importance of supporting their families and communities. Together with our partners, parents, educators, and community members, we are empowering the current generation of young leaders to pursue their dreams and build legacies that extend far beyond high school.
