The NextGrad Scholarship Foundation was established in 2019 with the first scholarship awarded to Aberdeen Central High School in April 2020. Funds are contributed from the college subscription that institutions pay NextGrad to share their programs and admission with our partner high schools. NextGrad has awarded over $1,000,000 back to high schools. It is our goal to become one of the largest scholarship foundations in North America.
Every spring each high school partner will receive the NextGrad Scholarship after the NextGrad Screen has been on-site and for an academic year as per your partnership agreement. The school’s counseling department should award the NextGrad Scholarship to a first-generation or student of need graduating senior who plans to attend a technical or community college and/or university the fall after high school graduation.
Your NextGrad scholarship will be paid to your school annually during the full academic year(s) that your school partners with NextGrad. These donation funds will be paid on or before June 1 of each academic year.
We encourage you to use your annual donation for a student scholarship, this editable scholarship certificate template is available to recognize the recipient at your annual awards ceremony.
