Broad Horizons Scholarship for High School Juniors
Scholarship Sponsored by Scholarships360
Overview This award is intended for current high school juniors (members of the graduating Class of 2027) who actively seek opportunities to widen their perspectives. What we mean by “broadening your horizons” Broadening your horizons means growing your knowledge and life experience by stepping beyond familiar routines—trying unfamiliar activities, acquiring new abilities, visiting different places, or connecting with people from backgrounds unlike your own. Who should apply Open to students who are in 11th grade now and will graduate in 2027. If, within the last year, you’ve taken a step that expanded your outlook—no matter how big or small—we want to hear about it. Application instructions Submit a short-answer response describing one specific thing you did in the past year that helped broaden your horizons. Examples include starting a new hobby, learning a new skill, traveling to a place you’d never been, or deliberately spending time with people different from yourself. See the Application Information section for further guidance on the short-answer requirements. Selection criteria Applications will be evaluated on the strength and clarity of your short-answer response. In addition, consideration will be given to how active applicants are on the Scholarships360 platform—the number of scholarships you’ve applied for through Scholarships360 will factor into review, with more active users receiving greater consideration. Deadline All applications must be submitted by May 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST. We look forward to reading your submission.
