New Visions Scholarship Fund

New Visions has awarded scholarships to high-achieving seniors annually since 2009, with 157 scholarships granted to date, including 57 current undergraduates. Scholarship recipients, the vast majority of whom are first-generation college students, are awarded up to $20,000 over four years to support the costs associated with attending the college of their choice.

Applicants must be graduating seniors in one of New Visions’ partner high schools. Our scholarship recipients, some of the most inspiring and accomplished young people in NYC, are selected based on academic rigor and achievement, community engagement, leadership, and financial need. Students awarded the scholarship have graduated from Dartmouth University, Cornell University, CUNY City College, and SUNY Stony Brook, among other institutions.
