Who We Help
The Forgotten Workforce Scholarship exists for adults who have already proven they are willing to work hard.
- People who delayed college because they had to support a family.
- People balancing work and school.
- People who never gave up on the dream of earning a degree.
We believe these individuals have earned an opportunity.

Our Selection Philosophy
Academic achievement matters. So do perseverance, responsibility, and determination.
We look for applicants who have demonstrated:

- Determination to complete what they started
Life will put obstacles in everyone's path.
Some are expected.
Some are not.
What defines us is whether we keep moving forward.
At the Earned Opportunity Foundation, we believe persistence should never be defeated by a temporary lack of opportunity.
That's why we help hardworking adults finish what they started.
