The Pelican Family Office Scholarship

The Pelican Family Office Scholarship is a $2,500 no-essay scholarship awarded to a student pursuing a degree at a U.S.-based accredited college or university. It was designed around one idea: applying for help with school shouldn’t be another unpaid assignment.

So the application is deliberately short. There is:
No essay — not a long one, not a “short answer” that becomes one
No minimum GPA — your grades don’t gatekeep your application
No application fee — applying is free, always
No purchase or client relationship — required or considered, ever
Who can apply
The scholarship is open to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at any U.S.-based accredited college or university, in any field of study. Full eligibility terms — including enrollment verification for the selected recipient — are in the official rules.
