The journey to fulfilling your dreams starts with Onward Scholars! Made possible through the support of The John H. and Cynthia Lee Smet Foundation, the Onward Scholars Program (OSP) turns a scholarship into a springboard — giving students the mentorship, connections, and college access to dream bigger and go further.

In addition to financial support, the program offers the following:
