About the Scholarship 

"Honoring a legacy of faith in education by investing in students ready to write their next successful chapter."
 

The Charlesena Hardee Impact Scholarship honors my mother, Charlesena Hardee, whose lifelong belief in education, perseverance, and opportunity continues to guide the work of I5O Consulting. The scholarship's mission is to remove financial barriers that stand between motivated learners and their goals, whether they are beginning, continuing, returning to, or completing their education.

 

High school seniors, current or returning students, and adult learners who are enrolled in or accepted to an accredited college, university, trade school, or credential program are encouraged to apply.  The $1,000 award may be used for tuition, fees, books, supplies, and other approved educational expenses.

 

Applications open today, September 15, 2026, and close November 15, 2026. Awards will be made in December 2026 for students starting classes in January 2027, and in July 2027 for students starting classes in August 2027.

 

Every student has a story, and this scholarship exists to help you write your next successful chapter.
