Brave of Heart Scholarship

The Brave of Heart scholarship is honored to announce its next application cycle for family members of healthcare workers whose lives were lost in the fight against COVID-19.

The Brave of Heart Fund was founded in May 2020 by the Foundations of Cigna and New York Life and administered by E4E Relief. It was established to provide charitable grants and emotional support services to families of frontline healthcare workers, volunteers, and support staff whose lives were lost in the fight against COVID-19. The Brave of Heart Fund continues to honor the hard work and sacrifice of healthcare workers and their families via scholarship funding for their spouses, domestic partners, and children.

• Applicants must be a spouse, domestic partner, or child of a healthcare worker, volunteer, or support staff whose life was lost in the fight against COVID-19
• Applicants need to have plans to enroll in an accredited program at a vocational and technical school, community college, 4-year college or university, or graduate school (if pursuing healthcare studies)

All eligible applicants will receive some level of award. Whether you are about to graduate from high school and head to college, considering continuing your education or registering for training that enhances your earning potential, the Brave of Heart Scholarship may be able to help. Applications are now being accepted online. Up to $25,000.00 annually is available in funding, depending on an eligible applicant’s academic focus, student status, and other criteria.
