Why Financial Literacy Matters

Did you know the average student graduates with approximately $30,000 in student loan debt?

Followed by the surprise they owe hundreds of dollars per month in repayment of student loans shortly after graduation.

In order to help Rhode Island residents cover tuition, reduce the need for college borrowing, and increase their knowledge of financial topics related to student lending, RISLA’s Knowledge for College Scholarship provides a chance for entrants to win scholarship funds while in their senior year of high school or any year of college.

Three entrants will be randomly selected on the first business day of the following month. Winners are requested to have their
First Name, Last Initial, and City/Town of residence identified on this scholarship web page. Only the winners will be notified
of the $2,000 Scholarship, which will be made co-payable to the student and the college of choice in May, 2021!*

BONUS DRAWING
Entering consecutively every month qualifies participants that have not previously won during the same school year for a bonus drawing held in May.
One eligible winner will receive a $2,000 scholarship.
