RESTON, Va., April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ellucian Foundation, established in 2020 by Ellucian, the leading higher education technology solutions provider, announces that the 2026 Progress Accomplishment, Thriving, Hope (PATH) Scholarship Program is now accepting applications from eligible institutions. PATH provides block grants of $10,000, $15,000 and $25,000 to higher education institutions to support students in financial distress and prevent educational disruptions.

"Financial hardship remains one of the greatest barriers to student success, often forcing learners to pause or abandon their education — Ellucian's 2025 Student Voice Report found that 23% of stop-outs cannot afford upfront costs to return, while 15% are already burdened by student debt," said Laura Ipsen, President and CEO, Ellucian. "Through the PATH Scholarship, the Ellucian Foundation is partnering with institutions to remove those barriers and ensure more students can stay enrolled, complete their studies, and achieve their goals. This program reflects the Foundation's commitment to expanding access and powering student success at scale."
