Two Ten Footwear Foundation Scholarships

Scholarship Sponsored by Two Ten Footwear Foundation

Since 1969, Two Ten Footwear Foundation has awarded over $27 million in scholarships to 6,454 students — including children of U.S. footwear industry employees who cannot afford a college education, and U.S. footwear industry employees themselves.

With the opportunity to receive up to $4,000 per year for a maximum of four years, Two Ten scholarships make it possible for footwear families who cannot afford the cost of higher education to send their children to college.  For industry employees, Two Ten scholarships provide an opportunity to improve their skills and career by advancing their education.
