State Farm Good Neighbor Scholarship Program

Every 26 seconds in America, a student drops out of high school.

The State Farm Companies Foundation believes all children deserve an education that helps them reach their potential and prepares them for life.

To help students pursue higher education or skills training, the State Farm Good Neighbor Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to 26 high school seniors who plan to attend college, technical, or vocational school, but often do not qualify for other scholarships.

Applicants must be high school seniors with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 to 3.2 on a 4.0 scale who will graduate at the end of the 2012-13 school year. Applicants must also be U.S. citizens, be planning to enroll in full-time undergraduate study for the 2013-14 academic year and demonstrate financial need.
