Kovner Opportunity Scholarship

The Kovner Opportunity Scholarship enables talented and ambitious public high school students in Palm Beach and Martin Counties to attend the nation’s most challenging and selective 4-year colleges and universities.

Students from partner high schools apply to this program in the spring of their junior year so that The Kovner Foundation, working in partnership with school guidance counselors, may provide one-on-one counseling and guidance through R&R Education Consultants during the college admissions process. R&R also provides support for Kovner Scholars and monitors their progress through their college years.

The Scholarship provides up to $10,000 per year for four years towards the cost of full-time attendance at an accredited U.S. college or university for any area of study.

We celebrate all scholars and present a selection of their stories and videos below.
