In response to the issues that have affected families whose lives have been upended by hurricanes and other natural disasters, the OVC Scholarship Network is extending a helping hand to those in need. Through the Natural Disaster Relief Scholarship, the OVC Scholarship Network works to provide students with much-needed support as they take steps to get their lives back on track.
We have immense compassion for those who have lost loved ones, homes, and businesses or suffered other losses as a result of natural disasters. We recognize how hard it can be to return to normalcy after these devastating events. Our goal is to help students and their families worry less about the costs of education while they focus on rebuilding their lives.
Through our Natural Disaster Relief Scholarship, the OVC Scholarship Network provides a $1000 award each semester to a student who has been greatly impacted by natural disasters within the United States in the last 10 years.
