About Owens Foundation Scholarships

Owens Foundation scholarships assist students financially so they can pursue and complete their education.

Scholarships do not have to be repaid.

Generally, scholarships are awarded to students based on a set of criteria such as a certain field of study or major, academic performance, or community service.

Scholarships also may be established to support a specific career field.
