How the program works

Parham Scholarships are awarded to nominated students who are enrolled and excelling at one of our partner universities. To be eligible, a student must be nominated and selected by the faculty or staff of their educational institution. Direct applications are not accepted.

 

Funding for the Parham Scholars is made possible by the generosity of Antonio ("Tony") Parham, Dr. Lynda Parham, and other generous donors. Additional information about them can be found at:  tonyparham.comTKGministries.orgMariposaResilienceAndWellness.com and at our donor page.
