CHILD OF DIVORCE SCHOLARSHIP

Sometimes, regrettably, one parent (or a third party) attempts to influence a child against the other parent. While most cases don’t result in long-term disruption of the parent-child bond, in some cases the child will become alienated from a parent with whom they previously enjoyed a close relationship. This circumstance was officially recognized in 2013 as a diagnosable disorder by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association.

• The Child of Divorce Scholarship has no restrictions as to residency, college choice, GPA, financial need, etc.

• Previous recipients may reapply. Required additional materials: Essay (maximum 500 words) describing how PAS has affected you.
