Scholarship & More

The Zenie Foundation (ZF) is more than a traditional student funding source...it's a culture. We co-invest our financial resources and our coaching resources with students who we believe will be role models, change makers and future inspired leaders. Our scholarship is available to high school seniors who enroll as a full-time student at a U.S. accredited non-profit 4 year college or community college AND live in: Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware or Utah. (Siblings of current ZF students can apply regardless of state).

The scholarship is very competitive. Please thoroughly read our website and learn about who we are, what we do and why we do it. Decide if you would benefit from and could contribute to the ZF community. If yes, go to our Eligibility page. If not, please make use of the Resources available to all on our website!

Students may receive financial support (up to 8 semesters for college and 4 semesters for community college) as long as they remain in compliance with award requirements. ZF funds apply to course-related expenses only. These are defined as: course tuition & lab fees. We do not fund non-course related expenses such as: room & board, health fees, travel, etc.

At the Zenie Foundation, our mission is to help students grow into effective adults, who are driven by their desire to learn. We do not require our applicants to provide information regarding their race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation as these factors do not enter into our selection decision. We believe the greatest education can be found when we listen to and learn from each other.
