Achievement Scholarships
The Jack L. Siegal Memorial Scholarship
The Jack L. Siegal Memorial Scholarship was created in memory of one of the first supporters of the Community for Education Foundation, Jack Siegal, who taught, by example, the importance of communication, decision making, and goal setting in overcoming life's obstacles.
The Jack L. Siegal Scholarship Fund provides $10,000 for post-secondary education to Student Achievement Award winners who transfer the Overcoming Obstacles life skills lessons learned in the classroom to their academic and social lives.
American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Scholarship
In 2008, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association initiated a partnership with Overcoming Obstacles to award scholarships to student Achievement Award honorees interested in careers in science and medicine.
The student honorees personify the Overcoming Obstacles program that uses communication, decision making, and goal setting skills to meet life's challenges. The scholarship provides $10,000 in financial assistance for students who are pursuing higher education.
