Scholarship Overview

Chapter was created after its founders saw their parents and grandparents being exploited by bad actors and decided to build a platform with the mission of putting seniors first. The Chapter Putting Seniors First Scholarship celebrates students who embody this value in their own lives by supporting, advocating for, and uplifting the older adults around them.

Chapter is an independent Medicare advisor and brokerage dedicated to helping older adults confidently choose the right healthcare coverage for their needs. By providing personalized guidance, transparent advice, and ongoing support, Chapter is committed to putting seniors first in every interaction, ensuring they can navigate important healthcare decisions with clarity and confidence.

This scholarship is open to high school seniors, undergraduate students, and graduate students who demonstrate a meaningful commitment to the well-being of seniors in their families or communities.

Support can take many forms: helping a grandparent understand Medicare options, volunteering at a senior center, assisting with technology, providing transportation, offering companionship, or advocating for better access to care. Big or small, these actions reflect compassion and responsibility across generations.

Application Overview

Submit a resume and a 250-word essay responding to the prompt:

“How do you support the seniors in your life, and why is that support meaningful to you?”

We’re looking for thoughtful reflections that highlight empathy, initiative, and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of older adults.

By investing in students who care for and advocate for seniors, Chapter hopes to strengthen the bonds between generations and inspire lifelong service.
