Join us for the 2026 Transform RI Scholarship Virtual Info Session Feb. 4 at 7pm!

Do you have questions about the $1 million Transform Rhode Island Scholarship (TRIS)?

We have answers! 

Please join us for a 30-minute virtual information session, February 4, at 7pm. We will answer questions and you can hear from previous winners who will share how easy it is to apply! Plus, there will be giveaways! 

The Transform RI Scholarship offers a unique chance for Rhode Island high school students to win big while making a difference in communities that need it most in our state. 

Students answer one question: If you had $1 million to improve the lives of those who need it most in Rhode Island, how would you do it? Students can submit an essay, video or multimedia presentation. 

The winning idea receives $1 million to make it a reality, plus a $25,000 scholarship! Nine finalists win scholarships between $5,000 and $15,000.  

Applications are accepted until March 31, 2026. 

Since TRIS was established in 2022, POC has invested more than $4.1 million in Rhode Island high school students. Thirty-six (36) students from RI public, private and charter schools have received Transform RI Scholarships.
