College has many inherent expenses, but while tuition and housing are often covered in scholarships, few focus on the other costs of college. Textbooks, technological tools, and various equipment are required for college students, and they aren’t cheap.

The Lotus Scholarship seeks to offset the cost of these additional college expenses as well as support students who are children of single parents or come from low-income households. Support is important in order for students to succeed, and this scholarship hopes to provide some of that support for minority students.
