CTCL Scholarship Application

The Colleges That Change Lives Scholarship was established in 2016 to honor the 20th anniversary of the publication of the first edition of Loren Pope’s classic book and the 10th anniversary of the non-profit organization, Colleges That Change Lives.

Since first appearing in 1996, four versions of Colleges That Change Lives have been published, each update offering valuable insights about the college search, as well as profiles of 44 small, residential, liberal arts schools that deliver a quality education to thousands of students each year. The non-profit Colleges That Change Lives organization is dedicated to preserving the author’s message, and this scholarship is yet another way to ensure the CTCL experience becomes a reality for even more students, including the recent scholarship recipients.

In 2022, CTCL will award two $4,000 scholarships. (Each scholarship is paid directly to the individual student’s CTCL institution, $1,000 per year for 4 years.) 

1. Part 1 of the application will be completed online and must be SUBMITTED before 11:59 PM (Eastern Daylight Time) March 25th, 2022.
2. Part 2 of the application will be completed by submitting two items  before 11:59 PM (Eastern Daylight Time), April 8th, 2022:
• at least one copy of an admission letter from a CTCL member school
• a copy of Page 1 from your Student Aid Report (SAR) from the FAFSA (See examples of page 1 of the SAR here.)

Notification of scholarship decisions will be emailed to all applicants on April 22nd, 2022.
