2026 Scholarship Finalists

This year's finalists left a lasting impression on us. Chosen from an exceptionally competitive pool, these students stood out through their passion, perseverance, and the depth of what they've already accomplished.

Their dedication didn't go unrecognized. Each finalist received subscriptions to Aura Health to support their growth as learners, sharpen their thinking, and equip them with tools that extend well beyond the classroom.

What struck us most was the range of ways these students lead. First-generation college students forging new paths. Neighborhood advocates working for a greater community. Scientists asking hard questions and uncovering the answers. Across the board, their applications revealed not just strong academics, but creativity, compassion, and an unmistakable sense of purpose.

These are students who aren't waiting to make an impact; they already doing just that.
