Discovering Promise - Rewarding Excellence. http://carsonscholars.org/ The Carson Scholars Fund offers scholar awards to students as early as the fourth grade.

Awards are based on academic achievement and humanitarianism, regardless of financial need. Carson Scholars are honored at an annual awards banquet, where they receive personalized medals, certificates, peer recognition, and a large trophy for their school, which lists names of the award winners. In addition to providing scholarships, the Carson Scholars Fund has established over 155 Reading Rooms in 20 states and Washington, D.C. The Reading Rooms provide a safe haven for students to discover the joy of independent reading.

Sometimes recognition changes everything.

Eleventh grade Carson Scholar, Owen Ryan: "The Carson Scholarship was the first real recognition or award I had ever received, and it sparked a new desire to push myself and challenge myself in new ways."

Your sponsorship does more than fund a scholarship. It tells a student:
We see you. We believe in you. Keep going.

Sponsor a 2027 Carson Scholar today.
