Rhode Island Award

Overview

The Rhode Island Award refers to the broad array of scholarships provided through the Rhode Island Foundation, the largest funder of non-profit organizations in Rhode Island. The foundation manages hundreds of individual scholarship funds, each with its own criteria and focus, ranging from specific fields of study to residency in particular towns. Collectively, these awards aim to make higher education more accessible to Rhode Island residents and were established by dozens of individual and organizational donors to bridge overwhelming financial gaps.
