ERLY Starting Point

At ERLY, we believe education is one of the most powerful tools for creating opportunity, building confidence, and empowering the next generation of thinkers and leaders. The ERLY Scholarship was created to support students who are passionate, curious, and committed to shaping a brighter future, whether in science, creativity, entrepreneurship, or service. By investing in education, we hope to uplift young voices, remove barriers, and inspire more people to pursue the paths that excite and challenge them most.

The ERLY Scholarship awards two students with $1,500 each to be applied directly toward educational expenses. It is open to high school seniors and currently enrolled college students. Applicants are invited to submit a short essay reflecting on ERLY’s belief in starting early and how an early experience or decision helped shape their academic or personal growth.
