The OVC Scholarship Network Announces Scholarship Opportunity for Natural Disaster Survivors

In the wake of the tragic developments brought on by recent hurricanes, the OVC Scholarship Network has been inspired to use our resources in an effort to help people who have been affected by natural disasters. Starting in 2025, the network is officially offering the Natural Disaster Relief Scholarship to students whose families have been impacted by hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, and other disasters during the past 10 years. Our team hopes this opportunity will grant relief to students who have faced devastating challenges while they continue to work hard to pursue their academic goals.

We can only imagine how difficult it must be for families to pick up the pieces after a natural disaster. When facing the loss of loved ones, homes, family businesses, and more, many aspects of a person’s life may be put on hold, including their educational pursuits. At the OVC Scholarship Network, we know that a little goes a long way, and by providing eligible college students with a scholarship of $1,000, we hope to alleviate some of the stress they are facing as their families recover from natural disasters.

To qualify for the Natural Disaster Relief Scholarship, a student must be attending an accredited school within the United States as an undergraduate, graduate, or law student in the 2025 school year. On the Natural Disaster Relief Scholarship webpage, students will find a digital application where they will be asked to submit their information. Applicants will be required to submit a video essay where they will explain how a natural disaster has affected them and their families and how the scholarship will help them.
