There are many benefits to being a Carter Scholar. Carter Scholars will:
- Receive financial assistance to help them achieve their academic goals
- Be mentored by the founders of Carter Scholars, Mr. Carter and Dr. Carter
- Be assisted by members of Mr. Carter and Dr. Carter’s personal and professional networks
To be considered as a Carter scholar, individuals must:
- Be enrolled in an elementary school, middle school, high school or college in Virginia, North Carolina or Pennsylvania
- Possess a B or C average (elementary and middle school students)
- Possess a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (high school students and college students)

To apply to be a Carter scholar, please:
- Complete an application form
- Submit your unofficial academic transcripts (high school students and college students)
- Submit your photograph (only if you receive funding and only if you are comfortable submitting the photograph)
To receive future funding from Carter Scholars Inc., please do not apply more than once per calendar year. Also, please wait at least 12 months before applying for additional funding. This approach allows us to help as many students as possible.
Thank you and best wishes!
