    Chapter was created after its founders saw their parents and grandparents being exploited by bad actors and decided to build a platform with the mission of putting seniors first. The Chapter Putting Seniors First Scholarship celebrates students who embody this value in their own lives by supporting, advocating for, and uplifting the older adults around them. Chapter is an independent Medicare advisor and brokerage dedicated to helping older adults confidently choose the right healthcare coverage for their needs. By providing personalized guidance, transparent advice, and ongoing support, Chapter is committed to putting seniors first in every interaction, ensuring they can navigate important healthcare decisions with clarity and confidence. This scholarship is open to high school seniors, undergraduate students, and graduate students who demonstrate a meaningful commitment to the well-being of seniors in their families or communities. Support can take many forms: helping a grandparent understand Medicare options, volunteering at a senior center, assisting with technology, providing transportation, offering companionship, or advocating for better access to care. Big or small, these actions reflect compassion and responsibility across generations. By investing in students who care for and advocate for seniors, Chapter hopes to strengthen the bonds between generations and inspire lifelong service. Selection Criteria Scholarships360 will review applications and award this scholarship on the basis of: Quality, clarity, and originality of the applicant’s essay response Demonstrated academic effort and achievement, including but not limited to GPA (as evidenced by transcript or self-reported academic history) Alignment of the applicant’s experiences, goals, and interests with the purpose of the scholarship Finalists for this scholarship will be contacted for a brief interview.Show Less

    The MyOTC.com Scholarship for Health Access is a $5,000 scholarship from Chapter to support the next generation of healthcare professionals. Open to high school seniors, undergraduate, and graduate students pursuing careers in medicine, nursing, public health, or related fields, this scholarship invites students to think critically about one of the most important challenges in healthcare today: access. Many individuals, especially older adults, face barriers to everyday health and wellness, even when benefits are available. For example, the average senior enrolled in Medicare Advantage receives $400 annually in over-the-counter (OTC) health credits, yet a significant portion goes unused due to lack of awareness or accessibility. Through this scholarship, Chapter aims to highlight these gaps and support students who are passionate about improving health outcomes in their communities.

    📝Sample Essay from a Scholarship Winner



    Here's a winning scholarship essay from Dimiti M, who won our "Outstanding Undergraduate" Essay Scholarship. Read the essay below and keep scrolling for some commentary on what made this a winner.

    Prompt: Please share specific examples of how earning this scholarship will help you achieve your educational and career goals. If applicable, include any proactive steps you have taken to secure funding for your future degree.

    Essay

    Earning the Outstanding Undergraduate College Scholarship will help me achieve my educational and career goals because it will help alleviate the financial burden of a college education. My short-term goal is to earn a mechanical engineering degree to pursue a Department of Defense job, preferably in Japan. Since my dad is an active duty member of the Navy, I want to follow in his footsteps through engineering. My long-term goal is to create a nonprofit organization to raise awareness for the United Nations' seventeen sustainable development goals. The first step to achieving that is by obtaining my bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. I want to contribute to the cause directly rather than simply spreading awareness anonymously through social media and behind a screen. I've always lived in small communities, so having the opportunity to compete among thousands of other individuals is a dream of mine. My intense passion for engineering and work ethic will allow me to rise above many challenges and give way to some of the world's most significant innovations once given the proper resources. My persistence to improve not only my field of study – but life itself – will allow me to make great strides in mechanical engineering and eventually – the world.

    Why it worked



    In only 250 words, Dimiti convinces us that he has thoroughly researched his educational and career path. While not all undergrads have this level of clarity about their future, it's a good idea to be very specific and definite in scholarship applications. This convinces scholarship readers that the student takes their education seriously and that the funds will be put to good use.

    Dimiti also does a good job of describing his personal motivations for the path he's chosen. He describes how his father has informed his goals, and he lists the values he believes will help him achieve everything he hopes to.

    Tips for college seniors

    You’re a senior, which means you are almost there! Congratulations! There are probably some mixed emotions around the idea of leaving college. But just because it’s almost over, doesn’t mean there isn’t still a lot to do!

    Beyond grad school, loans might be something you have some questions about, but we’ve got you covered there too! We can help you answer how grad school will affect your loan payments and how you can start paying off your student loans!

    Frequently asked questions

    Is senior year of college too late to apply for scholarships?

    It’s never too late to apply for scholarships! You can apply for scholarships during your senior year to finance any program you may enroll in afterwards, and you can even try to fund your second semester if you find the right opportunity.

    Can I receive federal financial aid when I go to grad school?



    If you are planning to go to grad school, your federal financial aid options will change once you enroll. You will not be eligible for the Pell Grant or Subsidized Direct Loans, but you will be able to take out a much higher quantity of other types of federal loans. These include PLUS loans and Direct Unsubsidized.

    Remember, you’ll qualify for these opportunities the same way you did in undergrad – by filling out the FAFSA. Make sure to submit it well before the deadline to ensure that you file in time for any first-come first-served state grants.

    Will scholarships affect my financial aid package?

    In some situations, scholarships from outside sources can impact your financial aid package. It’s a good idea to reach out to your school’s financial aid office before applying to scholarships to see how your need-based aid might change as a result of new outside scholarship funds.
