A Foresters Scholarship of up to $8,000 can help with the rising costs of post-secondary education*.

No doubt about it, higher education comes with an even higher price tag. That’s why a Foresters Scholarship is such a wonderful benefit to members. With up to $8,000 in assistance, a student (and their family) can rest easier and focus on the future.
