Debt Relief Scholarship Program

Students with $7,500 or more in unsecured debt who are pursuing a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree may apply. Past or completed schooling loans can count toward the debt minimum; loans for current or future tuition do not.

National Debt Relief awards a $25,000 pool split among three winners: $10,000, $8,000, and $7,000. Apply through the sponsor's online portal by April 30 each year. The application typically includes an essay, video essay, transcript, and a soft credit pull.

The program aims to make college more affordable for students already carrying significant unsecured debt.
