Providing individual scholarships valued at a minimum of $10,000, the Horatio Alger Association recognizes young men and women who demonstrate exceptional perseverance and commitment to achieving educational success

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AUGUST 25, 2020) – Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, Inc., a nonprofit educational organization honoring the achievements of outstanding individuals and encouraging youth to pursue their dreams through higher education, today announced 649 students from across the nation will receive its prestigious 2020 Horatio Alger State Scholarship.

Since the establishment of its scholarship programs in 1984, more than 27,000 students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Canada have received more than $180 million in undergraduate, graduate and specialized scholarships. In 2000, 16 years after the establishment of its National Scholarship Program, the Association began funding scholarships concentrated in each state to further its mission of assisting deserving young people to pursue higher education. Additionally, Horatio Alger Members fund a series of Specialized Scholarships, which target students attending specific academic institutions or pursuing certain degree programs.

“The 2020 Horatio Alger State Scholars have faced great adversity throughout their lives, yet remain dedicated to furthering their education,” said James F. Dicke II, president, Horatio Alger Association and 2015 Horatio Alger Award recipient. “These students are immensely talented and have very bright futures ahead, and on behalf of our entire Membership, Life Partners and staff, we are honored to support them as they enter this next chapter.”

Collectively, the 2020 Horatio Alger State Scholarship recipients are students who come from households with an average annual income of $21,598 while maintaining an average GPA of 3.73. Each recipient is awarded a minimum of $10,000 to apply towards the cost of attendance of their selected college or university.

“By funding these Scholarships, Horatio Alger Members are providing these deserving young people the important opportunity to continue their education,” said Terrence J. Giroux, executive director, Horatio Alger Association. “We are very grateful for their ongoing support and commitment to our mission.”
