Donating a total of $110,000 in grants and scholarships, Sun Life will award two winning organizations with $50,000 grants, and in turn, each nonprofit will nominate an exemplary student to receive a $5,000 Sun Life Rising Star scholarship towards financing a college education.
Celebrating its fifth anniversary, the Sun Life Rising Star Awards program provides grants to nonprofit organizations in large urban districts, along with scholarships to under-served youth.
This year, the program will award grants and scholarships in five metropolitan areas: Boston, Nashville, San Francisco, South Florida and the Tulsa/Oklahoma City area.
By the end of 2014, Sun Life Financial will have committed nearly $5 million to 86 students and 79 nonprofit organizations in 16 different cities across the country.
Nonprofit organizations which have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, promote skills that directly translate to educational success in high school to students under the age of 21, collaborate with a secondary or post-secondary educational institution.
Student nominees must be high school seniors actively involved in an organization that shares the Sun Life Rising Star Awards’ mission.
They must also plan to pursue post-secondary education, exhibit leadership qualities, and demonstrate a strong commitment to their communities.
Nominated students are required to submit a 750-word essay.
