The 2022-2023 RISE Financial Progress Scholarship
The RISE Financial Progress Scholarship
College is an exciting time in a young person’s life, but the high price tag can sometimes be discouraging. Through the RISE Financial Progress Scholarship, we want to help ease those financial costs for five hardworking students.
RISE created the Financial Progress Scholarship to equip as many students as possible with the information they need to achieve long-term financial success. The award recognizes dedicated students who have a desire to implement the financial knowledge they gain, while also helping these students achieve their dreams.
The RISE Financial Progress Scholarship will award five $3,000 scholarships to students who exhibit a strong desire to boost their financial knowledge — by completing an online financial course — and sharing what they learn through a scholarship essay.
Scholarship recipients may use the money to help pay for higher education expenses including tuition, fees, housing, textbooks, etc.
The application deadline is May 2, 2022, or until 1,000 applications are submitted, whichever is first.

- Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
- Be a full-time or part-time university student; or enrolled to start at an eligible career school, college or university next term.

This is an expensive form of credit. RISE is designed to help you meet your borrowing needs. Appropriate emergencies might be a car repair, medical care for you or your family, or travel expenses in connection with your job. This service is not intended to provide a solution for all credit or other financial needs. Alternative forms of credit, such as a credit card cash advance, personal loan, home equity line of credit, existing savings or borrowing from a friend or relative, may be less expensive and more suitable for your financial needs. Refinancing may be available and is not automatic. Refinancing will result in additional charges. We will never charge you any "hidden fees" that are not fully disclosed in your Agreement or the Rates & Terms. If you don’t make a payment on time we will attempt to contact you via one or more authorized methods. Because we report your payment history to one or more credit bureaus, late or non-payment of your debt may negatively impact your credit rating. If you fail to repay in accordance with your terms, we may place or sell your debt with a third-party collection agency or other company that acquires and/or collects delinquent consumer debt. Be sure you fully understand the terms and conditions of your credit before signing your agreement.
