Scholarship details

LendUp Opportunity Scholarship is our way to give back to the community and invest in future generations. In fact, promoting educational opportunity is in LendUp's DNA. We know from our time at college that school can be expensive, so we want to help you out with a scholarship.

We're looking for ambitious and outstanding students who have demonstrated future potential through helping their community in a tremendous way. Maybe you started a club, worked on an entrepreneurial project, or benefited your campus or community in some other way. Whatever it is, we'd love to hear about it!

Scholarship selections are made four times a year. Annually, the LendUp Opportunity Scholarship awards students who have demonstrated outstanding achievement.

Eligibility

Any legal U.S. resident who is enrolled full time in high school or at least part-time in college, graduate, professional or trade school is eligible to apply.
Possess a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better.
