Grants and Scholarships
One of the ways we enrich the lives of our members, their families and their communities is by offering complimentary member benefits1 that include grants and competitive scholarships. By helping to ease the financial burden that comes with some of life’s biggest challenges and momentous events, we can help you and your family continue to get more out of life.
Foresters Competitive Scholarships2
Each year, the Foresters Competitive Scholarship Program offers up to 350 scholarships for tuition for higher learning worth up to $11,000 each in the US and Canada. Students of any age with a minimum 40 hours community service and a GPA of at least 2.8% or 70% may apply. Learn more
Orphan Scholarships
The Scholarship benefit provides the children of deceased members with a renewable higher learning scholarship of up to $6,000 per year for up to four years to cover tuition and maintenance.
Emergency Assistance Program
Emergency grants are available to provide short term, temporary financial assistance to members affected by significant personal hardship, disaster or large scale emergency. This benefit is a one-time, per disaster payment.
Project Grants
Later this year, members will be encouraged to use Foresters new online granting system. With funds from Foresters, members like you will have the opportunity to organize local volunteer projects that contribute to the well-being of families and communities.
