MORE THAN A SCHOLARSHIP
The ORBO Scholars Fellowship Program pairs financial assistance with mentorship, professional development, experiential learning, leadership development, and meaningful community engagement.
The Fellowship is designed to help promising young people not only access education, but build the practical capabilities, relationships, confidence, and experience needed to make the most of that opportunity and prepare for what comes next.
A Fellow receives an opportunity, grows through education, experience, resilience, and leadership, uses that growth to make a positive difference for others and the community, and helps create new opportunities that continue the ripple effect for the next generation.
