Scholarships

  At the Prison Scholar Fund, we believe in second chances. Since the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 precludes incarcerated students from federal financial aid such as the Pell Grant, the Prison Scholar Fund was created to offer a financial aid alternative.

You can help incarcerated students who wish to better themselves by making an individual, corporate, or foundational contribution to the Fund.

Incarcerated students who are serious about changing their lives through education, and would like to apply for the Dirk Van Velzen Scholarship from the Prison Scholar Fund should review the eligibility requirements. Individuals who meet the criteria are encouraged to submit the scholarship application. If you have trouble printing the online version, please request a paper version of the application and the eligibility requirements by sending a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope to:
