Unlike many scholarship programs centered solely on academic achievement, Horatio Alger Scholarships recognize integrity, courage in the face of hardship, and the determination to rise above adversity. Scholars receive not only financial support, but also academic, personal, and professional resources, along with access to the Horatio Alger Association’s national network of role models.
