Current & Past Scholarship Recipients

As a national, award-winning leader in design, branding, marketing, website and app development for the affordable housing industry, Brooks Jeffrey has built a legacy of innovation by recognizing and developing outstanding talent. We value education and its transformative power. We encourage others to push BEYOND what's expected to change lives, communities, and ideals.

Brooks Jeffrey's BEYOND Scholarship reflects our commitment to the next generation of leaders.
The BEYOND Scholarship is available to current high school seniors who plan to enroll in a post-secondary institution in the fall (2-year or 4-year institution).

Applicants must be residents of a Housing Authority that is a member of CCHRCO. An eligible recipient must be an immediate member of a family who has resided in affordable housing for a minimum of one, uninterrupted year. The recipient must have occupied the home during this period and currently be listed on a documented lease agreement as an immediate family member.

Each $500, one-time scholarship is based on need, academic merit, community involvement, career goals, and a brief essay. A 3.0 GPA or higher is recommended for all applicants. ACT or SAT composite score must be submitted with the application.
